A few weeks it would seem. If you constantly use the rifle it'll degrade alot quicker before you have to repair it.

It truly depends. Obviously, the more you use it the faster it will degrade. But it will degrade faster if you use powerups as well.They can last a few weeks of constant use, butthey can also be repaired to extendtheir life. Unfortunately, there is always a chance (like 1 in 5 or so) that it will break instead of repair, and repairs will always reduce the maximum condition no matter how good the repair so you cannot keep repairing it indefinitely.
So it could last you a month or more, or it could break the first time you repair it.

I have a rifle thats been repaired 3 times with reduced condition results, and I have no idea how many minor blemishes. I use 98% repair tools with 5 uses each, and have used at least 2 tools on this gun, and am working on a third. Right now its max condition is 333 and was over 900 when it was new. Still hits for 518 max damage tho 
Oh I also never use powerups any more, as changing them is a hassle, the gun is damage sliced (obviously). Also as nice as overcharge seems damage wise, I highly recomend you use something else, as overcharge kills guns fast.

Supposedly, thats what I've heard, never actually seen it tho. I know if it gets too low condition wise it will drop and never go back up, but I hear you can break it a bit trying to repair as well.

Weapons decay at 5 condition per 100 shots with no powerup, 17 per 100 shots with powerup. Slicing has no effect on decay rate. Overcharge shot will reduce condition by something like 50 per 100 shots.
