Shooting while mounted

I'm trying to make it so I can shoot with the unit's gun while riding a tauntaun.

I'm following this tutorial:

http://www.gametoast.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=26809

I cant get it to work, the unit holds his gun, and goes into alert stance when you look at an enemy, but can't fire. Could someone with more knowledge of vehicles help me?

The guide DarthD.U.C.K posted was from a passenger standpoint, it might not work properly from the pilot position. All I can say is keep trying different things until you get results.
