How can I have 2 turrets rotatable?
making 2 turrets bones won't work of course, link a other bone to the turret bone won't do the trick either.
Just to be clear, I have 2 meshes I want to move whit the turret bone, they both need to be rotated, like I want 2 turret bones.
well, is it even possible?

I dont know what you want to use it for but I see only one possibility atm ->
Superimpose the turret bone it doesnt have to be this long but for this picture it is usefull. The blue spheres are the turrets. The small pink strokes are the barrels.
I can only for the following problems:
-The turret meshes need to be exact on one angle. (X,Y or Z needs to be the same for both turret meshes, also the turret bone will have this coordinate)[Make sure the turretbones pivot is in the correct direction! You will have to rotate it]
-The Turrets will always rotate together
-You cannot use the barrelbone (Or turretbone depends on which you use)
This means depending on your use you are limited to this structure.
I have not tested this set up. But I think it will work.
I will test this tonight.
Hope to have helped you a bit.
Otherwise you will have to set the vehicle up like blazea did on his mkII. (That movie should be on youtube)

this will rotate both turrets around 1 axis.
he wants 2 independend turrets with theire own axis.

Try using two mouses Rrutk 
Not to mention that two independed turrets will require ludicros scripting or is just impossible. (Like swapping from turret with a button)
Edit: I wonder where that movie was of that mammoth mkII that had gunner positions for extra perons in a vehicle

mkII has more turrets yea, but it requires more then one person doesn't it?
yes, I want to turrets to move independent, I want 1 turret to do the same has the other turret, to be precise.
Well, if it is impossible, what I feared for, then thanks for your help.

Could you give me a sketch of where you where planning on using it. Mayby then I will get an idea.
The mkII requires more people indeed but you can make some of the turrets AI controlled.

cncfan explained what I want to, now, that AI is a idea. Make a AI turret that does the same as the player does, only that would require a script. I'm not a script writer, so I don't know if that is even possible.
