I don't know of any situation where machineguns have a motor driven firing/feeding apart from rotary machineguns.

On the other hand, if you make a man-portable rotary machinegun, covering the rotating barrels is a good idea. (yeah, obvious heat issues, but menomation and stranglement of the user can't be handwaved as easily)

Also since the only barrel that is firing at any fiven time is the one that is up, the "muzzle" of the Gorgon can just be the firing window of the casing.
