How did you make it only fireable while mounted on something? I was trying to make a 20mm anti-material rifle that would need to be deployed into furniture, but it can’t be currently made that way in JSON alone. Firing while mounted on a stable surface would be an excellent alternative for the rifle at least.

You would have to deploy them like a piece of furniture in order to fire them, and repack them for transport. Some prime (and awesome) examples of this would be: Mortars: Anti-armor rifles: Some vehicle mounted only weapons like the minigun might be made portable like this as well.
