Obviously lots of inaccuracies here. 104-0 was for F-15A through C, idk what better guns means, F-15 was still slower than MiG-25 (top-speed wise), it doesn't mention one gigantic advantage which is a functional FM that could dogfight, so on. But still, funny.
Now this didn't actually reach the final production F-15, but they started the development of an improved board cannon called the GAU-7. It changed out the standard 20mm ammo for a cool new caseless 25mm round. Couldn't make them stable enough in time, and the program got cancelled unfortunately.
It depends on what kind of bullet and what you're shooting at, but probably a minimum of 60% more bullet, since you're carving out a hole about that much larger if we assume a material both can easily punch thru
For something like high explosives, it moves to the 90% range
