I don't know why you're fixated on squeezebores  :)

Squeezebores are counter-productive in space. The purpose of a squeezebore is to reduce aerodynamic drag by crushing the sealing flange around a high-density penetrator core. The reason for a high-density penetrator core is obvious--hit a smaller area with more mass at a higher velocity to improve armor penetration. However, in vaccuum there's no aerodynamic drag, so you might was well use an APCR round--armor piercing composite rigid. APCR is like squeezebore ammo that's not squeezed or ADPS with a non-discarding sabot. In space, there's no loss of penetration, range, accuracy, or anything else from keeping the sealing flange.

The real problem with the squeezebore in space is that you're losing a lot of energy crushing the sealing flanges against the body of the penetrator. This takes both mechanical energy to deform the metal and greatly increases drag.

This is why I propose that the guns be tapered-barrel conventional cannon built up using 3D manufacturing from artificial diamond (so as to handle INCREDIBLE detonation chamber pressures) with only secondary boost provided by those (ludicrously short) external accelerator rails.
