Could be for any number of reasons: Could be it's part of the power broadcast system, could be it's covered in thrusters to aim the gun, could be part of some kind of recoil dampening system.

I'm thinking it has to do with recoil dampening. If you think about it, if it just fired with no recoil, it would go flying back towards earth. It most likely has some mechanism that compensates for the recoil of the blast.

Counterweight to keep the station balanced.

And there's no way to reduce the recoil. The MAC stations and ships work on pure magic.

Friends before pixels.

Could be a recoil reducer.

So the gun doesn't fly off course when fired.

It could be there for a number of reasons. The most logical is for aesthetic purposes rather than actual actions dealing with the station.

Signatures are for squares.

I always just assumed that's where the ammo was stored. Those guns have to store those slugs somewhere...

MAC stations could reduce the recoil by firing thrusters to offset the force of the MAC being fired.
