Is it possible to make a weapon mount that increases the rate of fire?

Deathstalker's Mount Mod has a "Gatling Mount", but the way he does them is to make them 1/10 the size and damage of normal mounts (so effectively you get 10x as many shots in the same amount of tonnage space). He gave them a small to hit bonus, as well.

I would think that they should recieve a penalty to hit, instead of a bonus... real gatling/chain/miniguns tend to be real innaccurate - they hit mostly from pure rate of fire. The fact that you can have some of them hit instead of the all-or-nothing of a single simple weapon might be all the increase in to-hit that they're due. Just my two pennies tho.
