                                     "LeftGun_turret", "",
		"LeftGun", 
		"LeftGun_Turret","RightGun_Turret","", 

		"RightGun",
		"RightGun_Turret","RearGun_turret", "",


		"RearGun",
		"RearGun_Turret","",

		"gatling_1",
		"RearGun",
		"RearGun_Turret",""

	};

I am a bit puzzled... because the bone structure is defined in pairs (bone, attachedbone):

"LeftGun_turret", "",
"LeftGun", "LeftGun_Turret",
"RightGun_Turret","", 
"RightGun","RightGun_Turret",
"RearGun_turret", "",
"RearGun", "RearGun_Turret",
"", "gatling_1",
"RearGun", "RearGun_Turret",
""

May be this way:

...
"RearGun", "RearGun_Turret",
"gatling_1", "RearGun",

Yes, ALWAYS work in pairs.

Write the config the same way and it all makes soooo much more sense.

Only the Parent bone has to be terminated with a ""
