I considered trying to work out an Engineering/Urban Warfare vehicle using one until I saw the size.

To me it seems like any type of aiming system would be very problematic. I have seen some anecdotal evidence of an attempt to mount one on an LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) where it would have been used as a shore support weapon.

wiki link to modified weapon GAU-13. It does suggest the possibility of mounting a four barreled version on some type of LAV.
