I was looking for a noise of groaning gears when the weapon is broken in opposition to the electrical fizz we have today
Koali:
Oh, wait, that's... that's actually quite genius! An unpleasant break sound would be a huge incentive to fix the gun!

Gun reloading requires energy and this can be achieved essentially in two ways: storing the energy accumulated during the combustion of the cartridge or by an external source. Some guns in GOIO (involving bullets and discharge gases) could automatically reload by storing the excess energy produced in the event of firing but for others (rockets mostly) it is simply impossible hence an external energy source is necessary.
the second argument in favor of electrically powered guns is tilting. Lumberjack easily weights an excess of 4 metric tons, ignoring the automatic feeding mechanism and ammo storage. Same goes for any other heavy gun. In order to tilt it with such precision and speed an external power source other that muscle is required. the gunner sits on a chair, not actively participating in tilting other that providing an analogical input which is then transferred to servomotors that provide 2-axis movement. While this could be achieved through a chemical engine and steam pistons, none is to be seen on the actual gun. Instead arotary servo motor is visible at the base of the gun and on the vertical joint, provinding the aforementioned two axis tilt. A linear actuator control box is seen between the two, right next to the gunner's position with reinforced cables jutting out.

And it was a great sound, also on an update Howard forwarded some feedback from this thread to Tim, so hopefully it'll be in a patch one day :)
