There was plenty of crappy CGI in the show!

Sure! 
I don't remember any that was "firing through parts of their own ship without causing any damage" crappy though...

Roll and relative positions above and below the ecliptic are abstracted out, so rolling the ship slightly to fire off to the side would translate as a front arc on the table.

Instead of assuming that G'Quan is a G'Quan, why can't it be a G'Lan instead? Mag Guns occupy a F arc.
Much in the same way as the 2 Vorchans destroying the G'Quan. Clearly there has been a battle. Would it not then fair to assume that the Narn ship has been attacked previously through the engagement and is in less then perfect health.

Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups.
Also, the mag gun isn't a searing red laser... it's a giant railgun.

Mag guns fire a railgun launched bomb, not a laser beam! Besides that is retconning a ship designed later into the show....
well we could just leave them as they are 
some things are being changed to be closer to what people think is the show.
but as the CGI people in the show were never consistant thats not always a good basis. (try the agrippa being rammed by the churchill, but the ship B5 fires on thats supposed to be the Roanoke has the agrippas nameplate on the side)

A cock-up with nameplates doesn't change canonical armaments or capabilities.
we are kinda getting off point a bit though
The fact remains that the g'Quan clearly has a forward arc beam (2 beams in fact), whether it has to roll is neither here nor there, the fact is it isn't limited to boresight. Now then, some other ships benefit from being non cannon, the G'Quan looses out. But will Mongoose go Cannon in second ed?

no but cockups with weapons systems throughout the series generally does. ships get upto all sorts of stuff in the series. hell a mothership doesnt even fire in its own defense against whitestars (and thats b4 it opens the JP in case someone mentions anything), so should we stip a mothship of all weapons? it also carrys its raiders underneath so perhaps people can atatck any raiders carried on board and they get no dodge.

Sure, and we see an Omega fire a rear laser when it wasn't meant to have them, and because of this it now has rear lasers. Nothing we can do about CGI cock-ups, but when they are indentified as such we could disregard them. So the Omega would lose the rear lasers to be in line with what was intended for the ship rather than what was seen...
their has to be that line though, where do you follow cannon, where do you ignore it? their are fundamental weaknesses or strengths on ships, that ignore canon?
It was all a hypothetical discussion anyway, I'm sure that the G'Quan will still be boresighted, I'm sure the omega will have a rear laser, the mothership/carrier/criser will still have guns, and the whitestar will not be boresighted etc.
