I've been thinking about both the Mk VIII and the Mk V*, or actually any of 
the WW I tanks that had two sponson guns.  How would the rules handle this?

The rules specify one gun.  Could it be possible to use two paintball guns, 
but somehow controlled so that only one would fire at a time?  I'm trying 
to figure out how to describe what I am thinking.  As the joystick was held 
over to the left, the right gun would swing left (forward) until it was 
pointed straight forward, and then disengage.  At that moment, the left gun 
would engage and continue swinging left (rearward).  Another way to say it 
would be that the left gun would hand off a target to the right gun when 
it's bearing passed 0°, and vice versa.  So even though there were two 
guns, it would _act_ like a single gun.  It would be a complex mechanism, 
but isn't that part of the fun?
