Design Paradigm, Game balance, and Gunner vs Engineer.
awkm:
It highly depends on exactly what you're trying to do and must be evaluated on a case by case basis for each tool. Some will be easy. Some will be hard. But overall the ideas skew towards the hard.
The quote taken is an answer to a specific case.
Also we don't know if ammo will solve it. We also don't know if "substantial" changes will solve it. Each solution will bring ups and downs and they all need to be evaluated objectively. We can't go in with any assumption regarding any solution, only a goal and timeline of when the tests can happen.

Random idea:
Make Medium Guns - like Hellhund - possible to operate only by gunners.

.... Hellhund? Assuming you're talking about Heavy guns, the answer would still be hell no. I don't like the idea at all.
JareelSkaj:
Wiki says these are medium guns.
Anyway - It's good cause it encourages mixed crews and reassures gunners got their own role where they are irreplaceable. Bad thing obviously is that it creates first kind of items that cannot be used by other classes, but in general IMHO it makes sense.

The wiki is so out of date it's not even funny. Everything on the wiki is OLD. Don't use it for anything. Regardless of your opinion though, the devs have outright stated they will not do these kinds of things. Also, heavy guns are only on 3 ships in the game, so your idea will not help enough to matter, and could instead lead to 3 ships never being used. Also, one of those ships REQUIRES an engineer on a gun for it to work, or the ship suffers from having 2 gunners (which is always going to be BAD no matter what).
