Stronghold assault says that gun emplacements can be assaulted and shot at. Let's say I have a quad gun and aegis, with a unit operating the quad-gun. Is the gun emplacement targeted separately to the unit operating it?

(I think it is targetted separately, but this seems a little odd to me given the rules for artillery units.)

To take back your example, the Quad gun has 2 wound so yes it can be shot at and destroy.

OK, let's say the unit operating the quad gun has a model closer to the firing unit. Are the wounds allocated to that model first?

Or is the quad gun like a character without the Independent Character special rule so it can never join a unit? So it is targeted separately.

The quad gun isn't apart of any unit. It just a a gun and a unit in B2B with it can fire it. It never joins the unit.

This is explained in the BRB

The unit firing at you choice if shooting at gun or squad (if in range of course). The Gun emplacement is not an IC so not part of the squad if being operated by it.
When firing at the unit operating the Gun, then regular rules apply and closest model to the source of fire is remove first as casualty.
