Default Gatling Guns

I got to thinking about gatling guns the other day and started wondering why non-aircraft mounted versions have an AP Penetration rating (vice the HE Penetration used by aircraft mounts).

I know aircraft use the AP ammo slot to indicate the number of MGs/Cannon carried thus cannot have AP ammo.

But ... do any gatling guns, anywhere, have a dual feed system?
Does anyone, anywhere, carry separate HE and AP ammo for a gatling gun?

Wouldn't it make more sense to just give all gatling guns an HE Penetration and just HE Ammo?
