The gun wasn't an aiming laser (BTW guys its not g.u.n. its G.T.A. or ground to air weapons array)  because it doesn't take that much energy to make a laser pointer for another gun. Plus we didn't see any other beam or projectile shooting down the sunbeam. Another weapons array? maybe, but as long as its not too close to that array we'll be fine cuz the planet it round and the beam can only fire at a certain angle (not to mention it probably loses strength as it travels). Plus, the info from the precursor thermal power plant only mentioned one weapons array, but you never know. As for a airborne gun, its unlikely they would have one. Theres too many factors that would say its a bad idea. First off why do you need a gun in the air if you have one on the ground already? second, it would require a lot of energy to use and it can't just use solar panels to charge itself if it's that big. Third, the precursors would have to worry about it dropping into the planet and burning up or floating off into space because eventually its orbit will give way. thats just my opinion on everything.
