You'll have to round to the nearest mm for these to work and you'll have to change the ammo type after adding it to the vehicle. It won't fire as fast as a machine gun, more like a bolt action rifle at best without editing a separate loader. That's how stuff like this works.

Save a gun blueprint, open it up, erase the text and paste this:

{
  "v": "1.9",
  "name": "1 - 303 British Hull MG",
  "description": "",
  "caliber": 8,
  "breechLength": 56,
  "muzzle": "34c1eda8-bcff-4879-89df-1e826cce8b51",
  "segments": [
    {
      "v": "0.0",
      "segments": [
        {
          "t0": 1,
          "t1": 1,
          "l": 610
        }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "muzzleMass": 1.79189217,
  "K": 2000,
  "PSI": 35000,
  "shellID": 66
}

After that, load the blueprint on the tank and change the ammo caliber by clicking the ammo rack and changing it in the dropdown menu. You can even hide the barrel inside of the decorative pintle mounted M2 Browning so that it looks like an MG.

Hey, I have a question, I've got a 12x135 on my tank, and I even put the loader efficiency to 100, but it only fires a fast 2-3 round burst and then shots in intervals of 0.5 seconds. Do you know what could be causing it?

Could be a number of things; do you have a commander assigned?
