Apart from eating up ammo like there is no tomorrow, has anyone tried outfitting a boreas with as many gauss cannons as you can fit?

Usually only fit GCs on left and right turrets, as you said they eat through the ammo. :) Besides you would probably want some PPCs as well for the extra range.

24 GC's x 88 rounds/min. So 2112 rounds a minute.
Sustainable for about 4 minutes.
Do it on a phoenix and get a couple of extra minutes.
