Abstract
A gun tube for a downhole perforating gun assembly includes a body, a first end, and a second end. A motor is directly or indirectly attached to one or both of the ends and is configured to rotate the gun tube around its longitudinal axis in order to position shape charges in the gun tube in a desired position before firing the shape charges. A sensor may be on the gun tube, a sub-assembly, or an outer casing to detect the relative position of the shape charges and a signal including the position of the shape charges could be sent to a human or machine operator.
