Out of curiosity, why is the topic titled 'Power Grid'?
As for your question, this can't be done so far as I know, unless you want to make a graphical emulation of it -- this would involve Place active overlay at vertical offset X ( I don't really know how to use this one, meself, to place sprites where I want, though ) . Also, this will mean, I believe, that the seeming 'bullets' will come out in the same directions each time, even if you're firing in a different direction.
Though, if this would work for you, you could simply use Reavers, and give the scarab animation Turn X frames clock/counterclockwise ( your choice, no difference in this case ) , attack with weapon, turn x frames, ... until it goes in the direction you want. You'll then also change the weapon to use Lurker Spine missile behaviour, and there should be no Wait X ticks between each set of TurnXFrames/UseWeapon.

The easiest way that I can think of doing this is to make a new weapon grp with a circle that has the bullets around the circle, then adding more and more splitting frames to the weapons grp
after that, redo the Iscript so that it's frames match up with the new frames you made, and test out your mod
