So my question is what's the radial range of it? can it only target units directly 90 degrees of the ark or do i have to think of it like a 180 degree angle from front of ship to back? (Don't have the model yet)

I would assume they have a 180

It's hard to say but it looks like 90 on the one I assembled. The guns are modeled not to move but that's a good question

Then it's a 45 degree cone from the gun, just like any other gun that isn't a turret.

You have to work out from how it is mounted, same as for any gun. If hull, 45 degrees, if not then whereever it can physically point.

Right, but there's also the statement about weapons glued in place but using the weapon's potential range of motion to determine line of sight, isn't there?

Yes, so you work out if it is on a turret mount, or equivalent, or fixed in place like a hull mounting.

Also, as it is counted as one weapon, but is in fact 5, do you have to have all of them in range to make the shot? Or only one?

It's one gun that fires as 5, so only one has to be in range.

Yes. Think of it as a Necron version of the Hurricane Bolter.
