    Yes, some naval guns do. And guns on aircraft are electrically controlled.

    just sound wave units do.others are used for target acquisition but not as a actual firing pin.

    Well the guns on Navy ships are fired by an electrical primer. There is an program to develop a rail gun, that uses magnetism to propel the projectile. That uses electricity

    Yes some are directly and others indirectly

    metal storm, it uses electricity to fire the bullets, and has no recoil, so you can shoot multiple rounds in the same spot, and go through armor.

    Yes, the mini-gun (modern Gatling-gun) is battery powered.
