With a weapon mounted on a hardpoint, firing the
weapon at a target is done solely with gunnery.
Unless it is a missle or something like that, in which
case I believe you use launch weapons skill. The
facing and orientation of the bike will only dictate
whether or not you are able to shoot at your intended
target. Normally there is no roll for this but if you
have to make a special manouver to bring the guns in
line then you have to make a driving test as dictated
by the GM. An example would be doing a bootlegger to
shoot someone behind you or doing a wheelie to get
some extra height. At the GM's discretion this may
also affect the difficulty of the shot. So as you can
see it is all up to how creative you and the GM would
like to get. In most cases just a gunnery test will
do.
