RE: [SG,DS] Power Armour Weapon

Only 400 rpm ROF? With modern materials and production I would expect 
somewhat high ROF myself. And as for cooling the barrel, which is easier
to 
maneuver, a barrel with large fins to dissapate the heat to the air or a

barrel with a water jacket and 2 pipes leading to a radiator mounted on
the 
back of the PA? (after all, the surface area determines the heat
disapation 
rate, and I would prefere the heat disapation fins somewhere where they
will 
not interfere with the PAs troopers ability to fight).

Another question is are gataling guns (the multi barreled rotating ones)

rotating to allow the barrels to cool between firing or is there a
separate 
firing chamber for each barrel and the gun reloads while the barrel is 
rotating, so allowing the increadably high ROF the are capable of
(thinking 
of the modern versions like the Phlanix or the gattaling in the A-10).
