Gauss Guns use 1/2 Power Unit per shot, which means you'd need a Laser Battery. (This is different from a Targeting Laser, whose description specifically says it doesn't drain the plant. Thus the ruling that kept changing throughout the life of the game.)
In case it matters, the Laser Battery description says they are placed with the engine, not in turret spaces. Turret magazines are typically internal as well, so you're probably not changing anything on that front.
