This is a tough one.
I saw somewhere many, many years ago that there were 48 Twin Laser Turret Cannons on a Battlestar. (Fantastic Films Magazine?) Not sure how accurate that info is. If they are manned, I'd have to venture 2-3 per turret.
150 to 200 for all external weapons
100 to 200 Assault Warriors
(This is all a best guess from unknown or incomplete info and is welcome to debate.)

this is one that has stuck with me too,,,, "turrets manned and operational" . so there are gun crews,
this is an area I would like to work on. there are only one or two shots showing the Galactica firing ....
using the image of the model we can place them on the ship and map them out.
also there are 2 different types at least as far as I remember
the larger heavy cannons if you will...
I did have an image of that some years ago with a human figure to scale .... cannot find it now...
then there was what looked to be a lighter cannon above it.
another model I would like to build for this.
could they have been automated where the larger ones where crewed
