Working 3X Railgun- No Mods or Scripts

Description
This is a remake of earlier work. It now includes 1 button firing and no scripts. Simply add to your ship and look for the railgun control block. Easy to use and without issue. Fires three warheads over and over. This version passed a "spin test" meaning that it can be spun at high speeds and elevated while firing with minimal accidents despite the 3 rails. After entering the control block, the rotor lock has been left on. This can be disabled by pressing (3) when in the control block. The control block includes (1) fire (2) camera (3) rotor lock. When mounting multiple of these guns on a ship, each gun will be controlled by their own control block, while they will share the fire and rotor lock functions. This can be overcome, but only by a player with a good sense of exactly how each timer functions. It requires extensive renaming of each block and function to differentiate the multiple turrets' timers, pistons and other functional parts. If you are looking for a practical PVP way of using this turret, I suggest using it to blast apart energy shields. One small issue, you might need to set up a timer to drop your own shield as it fires.

Having to drop shields to fire a powerful weapon? Hmm.... Sounds good to me.

Thank you. It wouldn't be that hard. Behind the welders is a space, I'm not sure it is enough for a medium cargo container.... but probably you could fit one behind the left and right welders and connect the middle with some patience. It's mostly a cut and paste job. If you are using these in survival and not creative.... that's really cool actually. I would recommend some of my less complex designs for survival. On my workshop, I have artillery that is simpler. I also have some super refined versions of the gun built into my PVP warship.

Truly amazing, any tips for converting to more sustained fire? Currently I manually load the welders but wondering if it would be possible to connect to a ships container?
