I wondered about this as well. They do seem indestructable. But even more, the gun crews are very... staunch. I had the entire forecastle of a tanker in flames the other day, and the gun, located smack in the middle of the conflagration, was still firing, fast and accurate.
If there is a way to modify this, it would prolly be best to set the "hit points" very low, such that any hit within the damage radius of the weapon would kill it. The reasoning here is that, for the purposes of a single battle, a soft kill is as good as physical destruction. These are typically merchant seamen, or possibly seconded troops of lesser quality, manning these guns. It shouldn't take much to disrupt them to the point of being totally ineffective. I'm sure someone could dig up a notable exception or two, but for the most part I think this is a valid assumption.
