Maybe if that unit had SecondaryFireFLH = alternate weapon offset for bullet start position (def=0,0,0) something to adjust the X,Y,Z of the unit`s barrel to move. Though some anim would be needed for this to work I`m sure.

Oh... Well anyway do you or anybody here now a good voxel editor.(I'm a rookie at this stuff)
