Info video
Make sure you let them reload and aim, then press keybind to shoot (keybind should be in gameplay section of keybinds) also make sure they are either on wander freely or holding position and not following you.
Also some machines like trebuchet and catapult have fixed arc so make sure to place them at appropriate distance as recruits can't vertically aim these and these machines do the aiming themselves, for these recruits only rotate them.
Enjoy the mod and do let me know if you have any bugs, suggestions or in general an opinion about this on my discord handle- amigokilo88
