[Core Systems] Gimbaled Machine Gun

Description
A cute little gimbaled machine gun implemented via weaponcore for those who are bad at aiming. Stats:

- In-Game Name: GMG-1 Machine Gun
- Rate of Fire: 380 (About 6 sps)
- Damage per shot: 250
- Ammo Type: NATO_25x184mm (The vanilla gatling gun ammo)
- Energy Use: IDK, like 6W to run the lights?
- Ammo Max Trajectory (How far bullets will travel): 1km
- Max Tracking Range: 800m

This gun is balanced to be used in conjunction with the vanilla gatling gun. It has a 10 degree firing arc to auto-aim at targets in that range. It fires slower than a vanilla gatling gun, but faster than the small grid gatling turret, and does a bit more damage to compensate.

Buildstates: Implemented
Sounds: Implemented (Uses default gatling fire sounds)
LOD: TODO
Mirroring: TODO

Dependencies: Core Systems (Weaponcore vII)

I find 10 degree is too small for my builds.
How about 25? So on long wings all guns will point at point of gatling gun.

Looks like it's broken and doesn't want to fire anymore.

That's probably a good idea, changing the name to "GMG-1 Gimbaled Machine Gun"

Hope im not being rude with a suggestion but would help a lot with finding this if it could get placed into the block weapons tab in the g menu and have gimball added in the block name to help when typed into the search bar.

Love it just vanilla enough with standard sounds

It can't be a MG because it is 25mm not something like 15mm or below for HMG. It would have to be an autocannon.

And another thing, this can't be a machinegun.

Ok what about a full Quad Turret version?

any plans to add custom sound or will default gatling stay?

Probably not @ilovetrains241 ... That would just be a worse version of the vanilla gatling gun
