It can look quite greasy with the right textures (that's just a quick mockup, not the actual intended look). Vanilla textures do wonders for making anything look like salvaged junk, so no need to worry, it'll look consistent with rest of the weapons once the textures are done.

The rotation is still TBD. I already have a few options that I have to test out ingame, and the models will be adjusted depending on whichever works best. Though, I don't know what you mean by "piece of geometry that can't move", even the current "hinge-less" models can easily rotate 30° vertically without any clipping (including hull of the ship). So it's not gonna be an issue, just a matter of figuring out the best visual option for its rotation style.
