I'm not exactly a scripting genius.....
......but I had an interesting thought.
In the Babylon 5 universe the Omega class destroyer could both fire plasma bolts at a fast rate for short range engagements and heavy particle beams for long term engagements out of its two forward cylindrical cannons.
Is a system like that possible for BC?

You can do that by adding a pulse and a beam weapon to the same spot. Not long ago there was also a thread about alternately disabling pulse and beam weapon.

Is it possible to:
A: Make it look like they are firing out of the same barrel
B: Make it sequential, so that they don't both fire at the same time?

At the start of QB on the AI ships , all weapons are fully charged, on the Players ship , when Red Alert, is activated ALL weapons charge,but I think can be done [never tried] a phaser and a pulse\disruptor can have same barrel, if they are placed even 0.001 offset from each other, you'd just have to try, they do have to be a phaser and a pulse\disruptor, because the firring controls are different.

If you mean the pulses, you might want to try this mod (http://bridgecommander.filefront.com/file/Single_Pulse_Fire_Toggle;47209). Otherwise, you could always use MVAM for the switch. IIRC you can use MVAM without having to sit through the cutscene (Can someone confirm this for me by any chance?)

Oh, MVAM. Didn't think of that.

Confirmed!
