That would be like Star Cruiser Yamato's Wave Motion Gun, or something from Wiley Coyote Laboratories, Inc.

Could one of the barrels be separated out and a breach mechanism machined to make it an anti-armor rifle, like an upscaled Barrett?

Huh. Well, there's a use for all those surplus Leopard hulls. Ground mounts for Goalkeeper platforms. But I think we already did that thread.

I think they call that the Mk.44 Bushmaster II.

Maybe hanging out the back of a dump truck?

I like that idea... anything you shoot at, you are simultaneously running away from very fast, using the recoil for propulsion!
