Does the Ridgerunner laser and missile work as a turret?

I’m currently painting a biiiiiiiiig GSC army and I’ve got one Ridgerunner primed and need to assemble the other. I glued magnets to my laser on that round mounting bit on the arm to swap with a missile (even thought I feel like the laser is better) and a mortar tube.

 

RAI vs RAW: it’s obvious to me the mining laser should rotate (just given the logic of a laser on a vehicle) but it gets glued on without a rotating peg like a turret. Do you gents think we get to rotate it in game?

Vehicles have a 360° fire arc, like everything else, right? So whether the model rotates or not, the gun can fire in any direction.

 

But if you can model it to rotate, why not?

While there were no turret rules I didn’t know if excluding them meant that. Neat.

Other way round these days. Everything can fire as if it were turret-mounted. So a tank with sponsons can fire both sponson weapons at anything it can see, even if one sponson would have to fire through the tank to do it.

 

It's a massive oversimplification, but makes the game much easier to play.
