You want to give us specs and a vid? Maybe some more pics?
You can tell how awesome a cannon is by the pressure used.

sorry, cant take vids, but it tuns at 30 rpm, slow but controllable. It has a range of 50 feet (How many feet away the operator can be)

If you can remote the movement of the turret, remote the spark with a servo hitting a switch. If you remove the stop piece on the servo, you can get it to turn 360deg. This will allow you to repeatedly hit the switch and have an auto or semi auto device. You can increase your ROF by putting the cam that hits the switch on a smaller gear connected to the servo gear (larger gear).
