First, "silent" damage only matters on shadowruns; so let's imagine he's
hunting Hellhounds on a Critter Hunt.

In this case, the only damage that's silenced is the bow. Turbo deals
six damage from the bow alone, which is enough to crush the 'hound, so
he doesn't need to activate the cannons.

If it's on, say, Up and Over, then the 'hound is an 8/8, and Turbo needs
to activate the cannons. The miniguns, though, aren't keyed as silenced
themselves, so the alarm goes off.

Only damage inflicting by the Uzi would be doubled: (5+1d6)x2 + (2d6). =

There's no way to deploy Ammo on the Cannons, sadly.
