In today's game, after i had killed all the infantry models around the Quad Gun, my opponent drove up to the Gun a (empty) Rhino, claiming that it can fire it.
Is that correct?

Yes. Any model can fire a gun emplacement.

Except those which are prevented from firing for some reason, for example having a Ballistic skill of 0. Being a rhino in and of itself does not prevent a model from firing however.

Yeah the co-pilot or assistant driver says,"Wait here." and jumps out and goes presses the big red button on the Quad gun and then jumps back in the rhino. Happens all the time.

Sadly sometimes you have to go with the rules and not what makes sense.

Civil war militia men could have half the squad shoot at the guys wading thru the river and have the other half shoot at the guys charging over the hill yet the most super human highly trained group of Grey Knight Paladins don't know how to do that very same thing.

A Rhino can and a tyranid can't. Makes perfect sense.

I just figured they used some kind of USB 40.0 to connect to the rhino temporarily.

But it does appear that you can fire a quad gun with a vehicle.

Would that mean that Pask's special rule would apply to the quad gun?

If his Leman Russ was stationary and is firing the quad gun, yes.

If the dreadnought fire the quadgun can he fire his other weapons as well?

No, the dreadnought can not fire his own weaponry, it is stated clearly that shooting with a gun emplacement goes instead of firing the units weapon. If a unit controlling the gun consists of more than 1 model, a troop squad for example, than the model in base contact fires the gun, and the rest of the squad their weapons

That's not what it says, though:
Pg. 105:
"One model in base contact with the gun emplacement can fire it instead of his own weapon, ... "

Did they mean 'instead of all his weaponS' (note the extra S) or 'instead of one of his weapons'?

GW hasn't told us yet. They seemed to have forgotten there are plenty of models with more than 1 weapon that are allowed to fire all of them.

Don't forget, you have to be in base contact with a quad-gun to fire it. Rhinos do not have bases.

Cool you can never assault my rhino.

you assault vehicles hulls as per rules, not their base,

I lol'd hard at this. Amusingly this means a flyer can fire it!

Vehicles use their hull instead of their base, as many vehicles do not have bases.

Once I shoot an icarus with a stormraven, to kill another one. It exploded, killed 5 TDA and I laughed as never in my life.
