I say, make it a completely enclosed design in the 145. Rather than having it protrude as in the small body of the New Beetle, arrange to have the tailgate open on hydraulic struts for the duration of firing.

That way when the tailgaters get too close... you just hit the big red button to deploy the thing. Oh so very satisfying.

I think it would be trivial compared to the engineering that's already gone into the project.
