cdp44,
When you changed the Torps to guns i thought you put in turrets, you didn't. You can't make the setting changes in gunsradar.dat because it will affect every gun of that type in the game. (You could do this like ammo increases, but not fire restrictions.) Add two gun turrets and link one to each gun and make the restrictions in the turret file.
The 'traverse' settings will be how much it can turn, some can go 0 to 360 degrees, some can only turn part way. Example the guns on the starboard may only be able to go from 10 degrees to 170 degrees.

The "fire" restrictions are setting for what direction they can fire. For example a gun may be able to go in a complete circle, but you don't want it to be firing when it is pointed at the bridge. So you set up a fire restriction. Look at some of the other turrets and you will get the idea.
