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.

How about an armor/weapon combo that absorbs an attack and then uses the energy to fire back at the enemy? Sort of like the "Mauler" weapon from SFB coupled with the energy absorbers used by Andromedans in SFB.

hey ed, Last time i checked it was Stars! not Stars?

well yeah but I was ending the sentence with a question mark and it would look silly to say "Stars!?"

here's one for you - think UT2K3... ok now that I've totally blown your brains out (what is he doing talking about a FPS on a TBS forum?!?), picture the Link Gun - fire it at an enemy, it does say 20 damage, fire it at a friend who is simultaneously firing it at an enemy, it powers up your friend's shot and the enemy takes say 100 damage!

Link gun is weak. Ship-mounted devastators... Massive-Mount Ion Cannons... Flak cannons... Gatling Lightning guns...

The possibilities are endless.
