OK experts.... Can a machine gun be mounted on a moveable pod? I've been trying with no luck. What do I need to do to get a moveable machine gun?

Thats wierd. I thought this is possible. I mounted several in a moveable pod on the warthog and they spin as they fire.
I looked into this. The reason is that the orientation for gun/rocket/paintball components is expressed in absolute terms. We probably did that originally because we thought it would be a more intuitive way to aim them, rather than have to compensate for whatever orientation its parents might impose. It makes it very easy to create something that fires straight ahead, which is the most typical scenario. But that does mean that if the gun moves, its firing direction does not reflect that movement, and that is not very realistic.
I'll file a case to revisit this and consider changing how it works in RF7.
Whats the deal with the words in peoples posts (highlighted orange) being high jacked and turned in to spam links ?
they are one time links as soon as its used its gone and then a new word becomes one ???....slick
