Yep, been done a while ago with airsoft guns.
The airsoft version used AEG's (Automatic Electric Gun) where the firing circuitry was simply wired directly to the gun's circuitry to make it fire. but i figure it wouldn't be hard to just rig up a servo that pulls a trigger on a mechanical gun when the fire command is given.
Would be interesting though, if you set up a completely automated turret like this with a semi-automatic gun, and just made a servo or some sort of wheel mechanism that repeatedly presses the trigger while it sees a target, does that count as an MG? Since it's automatically firing the gun.
Edit; Pretty cool that he made it not fire at anyone wearing a shirt with a certain logo. So it can detect friend from foe.
