First of all greetings. I've lurked here for a bit and finally decided to post. I've been playing (Dark Angels) since about August and am loving the game but I am constantly at odds over the rules with my friend who plays necrons. I've read through some of the other threads about this topic and while I feel the internet hive mind has come to a general resolution of the matter, I must ask for a little more detail.

My friend plays the Tesla Destructor as a tourret mounted weapon with a 360 deg firing arc. The model shows it to be hull mounted. Since the actual rules description is not very descriptive, this is causing me some issue. What I need of the veterans here is a book/page reference I can take to my next game and show how it's supposed to be. I do have the BRB and the necron codex. I did submit my question to GW but all I got back is that it'll be considered for the next FAQ release. My friend has a hard time separating what's considered fluff and its correlation to the actual rules.

I want to thank you in advance for any and all responses and I apologize for adding further blunt trauma to a deceased equine.

Can it rotate 360 physically? Does it appear that it is supposed to rotate 360, but is glued in place ?

Does the weapon appear to be mounted in a fixed position on the hull ?

Pg 72, third paragraph answers alot

This.

In a nutshell, your necron friend is incorrect. The page cited by Fragile should provide the answer you seek.
