David,
I've kicked some serious butt down in R&D and the guys came back with this semi-scissor design for the lantern gun beam arm.
Hydraulics and/or other linkages not yet in place.
Let me know if I'm on the right track.
Cheers,

Ignatz,
That's amazing! It's looking great! I really love this direction.
Would the hydraulics be part of a separate "arm" system, or would they be integrated into the new "push bar" half of the scissor system? (I'm sure there's a proper name for all this; it sucks being ignorant.)
This is beautiful, and you can see how something like this could be built into a ship like "Grizzelda". Deploying a lantern gun would be so cool to watch!

David,
The hydraulics will be at the base of the scissor structure. Still have to work that out a bit.
Anyway, glad you approve.
