The engineers came out, took a look at the deck and said, maybe it would work if you wanted one that was purely internal and could only be fired in the engine room. They reckoned the deck would stand up to about 6 or 7 rounds and then the whole shebang would collapse into Main Control. Needless to say, we deployed without any wizzbang 25mm gatling guns.
