Both ways are possible.

When scripting it, create a tankshell with createvehicle at the barrels position, set the direction with setDir and accelerate it with setVelocity. Then you need something that triggers it. That could be a useraction on the object or a triggerarea which runs the script when a target enters the area.

When doing it through the config, set your object up as a cannon like the D30 and M119. In its turret class you can set the elevation degrees of the barrel to 0, so it's always aiming horizontal. And as ammunition give it some sabot rounds instead of heat shells. To make it shoot, move an AI in as gunner moveInGunner, let it aim at the target doTarget and tell the AI to fire a round with the command fire.
