Say a pirate is camping a gate, if he attacks me in losec, the gate guns get him,

1)say I can tank and point him, when I counterattack, do the gate guns continue shooting him, or they let me finnish him off? (I'd rather have their help of course)

2)And if hes -5 sec, gate guns wont get me if I initiate right?

They continue shooting him, and yes, you are free to initiate combat without pentalties against -5 and below anywhere.

Sounds good, say if he's -4.99 or more, do the gate guns still get me if I initiate in 0.4 and below?

If he's not an outlaw, then you'll go GCC when you attack and the gate guns will turn on you. If he is, then you won't and they won't. Use your overview.

Or he has to shoot you first, which marks him as GCC (Global Criminal Countdown) , in which case you are free to shoot at him. It's also only at the time when he goes GCC that gateguns will start shooting at him, the simple fact that he is -5 or below doesn't mean he'll automatically have gateguns shooting him.

TL;DR Wait for him to attack you first, then you are free to shoot him and you'll also have gateguns on your side.

What about precedence ? If 5 pirates at a gatecamp attack me around the same time, who do the gate guns go for first,?

The first to shoot at me?, or do they hit randomly all the guys that are aggressing me ?

Yes, the guns form a list of the agressors and cycle through that.

Just be aware that most people won't go GCC on a gate unless they are fairly sure that 1) they can do enough DPS to kill the target quickly, or 2) have a good enough tank to hold up to gate guns in addition to player damage.
