Might be able to use the Right arm off a BLADE

This is the one I was talking about:
Or, for the actual mini:
I have a Hammerhands modded with these arms, and I made the Cauldron Born HAG variant too.

Problem with using those arms is that the HAG isn't a Gatling style weapon but looks more like a gauss, if you check the marauder 2c 7's art which is using a gauss and a hag 30 the differences in the weapon is minimal

weapon is especially effective against vehicles, battle armor and aircraft—
but it avoids the design flaws of Defiance Industries’ creation
in firing multiple projectiles of far lighter caliber though a battery of
capacitors, making up for the lack of punch with an extremely high
rate of fire—sort of a “rotary Gauss” concept. Varying the amount of
capacitors to increase potential damage, the Horses have developed
three distinct “HAG” models (now there’s an unfortunate acronym!)
that operate on the same principles, with each larger model off ering
an increase in heat and mass for a corresponding increase in sheer
volume of fi re. –EB]
Pulled from Page 219 of Techmanual. The underlined part is where I envision it as looking like a multibarreled monstrosity. Guess to each their own, which is one reason I love CBT.
Yet reading through it again, I do see where you, and the artist for that Marauder, are envisioning it from, mine just looks cooler LOL

RFL-X3 Rifleman MUSE WIND - The Rifleman MUSE WIND was an experiment to combine Clan and Inner Sphere equipment in a production 'Mech. An Inner Sphere produced chassis, XL Engine, XL Gyro, double heat sinks, and Jump Jets form the core of the 'Mech. The Ferro-Fibrous armor that maximizes protection comes from the Clans, as does the weaponry: Each arm mounts aHAG/20 and the torso-mounted medium lasers are Clan Medium Pulse Lasers. The HAG ammo is protected by an Inner Sphere CASE system. BV (2.0) = 2,01231]
Either way, Its still bad ***
Or try the Silver Bullet Guass

the pariah also has a single barrel for the hag :/... i always envisioned it just firing a hail of slugs at once, or perhaps a lot of tiny barrels inside of the large one, I do believe though that it doesn't spin how the rifleman's design looks like it would do

Tiny barrels inside a large one? you mean like a volley gun?
From the explanation they give for it however it can go either way, a gatling based assembly or a volley gun since their explanation only stated that they fired a multitude of small gauss slugs, ie: a linked series of light gauss rifle effectively.
and it didn't exactly mention how it's fired (be it in chain or simultaneous group), but we can only presume that it is fired in a similar manner to volley gun based on the damage allocation description.
Logically based on the description of the weapon itself however (an array of smaller light gauss rifle) BOTH the volley gun style and the gatling style is nonsensical or inefficient and long story short, with a gauss weapon it doesn't make sense for the idea of multiple tiny barrels all of them sporting acceleration coils around them (which gauss weapon needs) within close proximity with each other for a lot of reasons [for starter, they can't fire at once without each barrel being magnetically shielded from each other]
Not that BT ever made much sense from physics stand point of view (since they r just soft sci fi material after all)...
But it does mean that since we can't exactly tell which design made any more sense than the other (both of them are nonsensical) then all we can do is just accept the design they put for it at face value and accept that.

Yes, hence why i said we presume so based on it's damage allocation description.
Thing is, the design really did not actually mention that with the general description and conceptually the idea is really hilarious from engineering point of view for a weapon and one has to wonder why this made sense to them and the silver bullet gauss don't since they are a gauss weapon/coil gun.

From the description, I had thought of the HAG system as a non-rotary multi-barrel assembly, like a coilgun version of the MetalStorm weapon system (additional examples here and here).
HAG-20 = 20 barrels
HAG-30 = 30 barrels
HAG-40 = 40 barrels
By contrast, the Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle would be a single-barrel, smoothbore, shotshell-firing relative of the Gauss Rifle...

but that's just the thing, volley gun and coil gun don't make sense with each other
coil gun by virtue of it's propulsion mechanism have to be magnetically shielded from external magnetic field... (unless you fancy having your projectile blast your own gun barrel).
in a volley gun assembly, that literally means they have to be magnetically shielded from each other, which makes them grossly inefficient compared to just a single coil gun barrel propelling a larger mass projectile.
this can be avoided of course if they just fire it one barrel at a time, but then that kinda voids the whole point of volley gun. Or alternatively by NOT using coil gun propulsion mechanism and regular pressure propulsion mechanism instead (be it gunpowder or otherwise).
of course in the real world automatic weapon in general are much more practical and efficient overall (hence why metal storm generated very few interest overall, volley gun is generally not that useful with modern automatic weapons having very high very rate already for a fraction of the weight.
but that aside, the concept actually made more sense in a multi barrel sequential firing rather than volley gun salvo as far as gauss weapons are concerned.

That info is on the page for each weapon in the series (HAG-20, HAG-30, and HAG-40), as well as on the Weapons and Equipment Lists (within the Clan ballistic weapons section).
It's also described in TechManual, on pages 219 (background/fluff, and construction rules) and 343 (weapons' specifications/statistics).
