Beam lasers SHOULD NOT hold the "Gatling" term (it's pulse lasers specific), please don't screw around trying to homogenize everything with the term "Gatling".
The original term is fine. See:

SMALL PULSE LASERS
Simple continuity from the beam version. "Gatling Light" inserted for improved clarity.

Again, remove the term "Gatling" from the beam laser family. The quad laser is probably the most confounding due to its name. It just needs a small and simple touch. "Solid-state" is an ungraceful name, some better alternates are "Positron/Antiproton" (the reasoning for this is to aim for a loose association with the next level tachyon beams), but I'm in more favor just sticking in "Medium". There may be some initial confusion (with the current Medium Beam), however in the long run, it should work out fine. See:
Quad Medium Beam Laser I

Edit: Striked the extraneous "Medium"

There's nothing wrong with the current scheme. It should be preserved. When you omit "Dual", you screw the actual turret art.
"Heavy" inserted for improved clarity. See:
