But if it would have one, I would say PA would use a real gun with a customized casing. They would simply add an external gun pod, like they have with the F-15 S/MTD. Another thing to consider is the aerodynamics of both the plane and the gun pod. You can't simply just add it directly to the plane because it might ruin the airflow and thus accuracy.
