Assuming a vacuum, basic orbital mechanics says the orbit intersects
the gun's location.

No.

Orbital mechanics says that the gun's energy will change also which
will cause it to modify its own orbit and be nowhere near when the
"something" completes its first orbit.

Doofus. The gun is assumed to be rigidly mounted to
the planet so that the its inertia relative to that
of the projectile is essentially infinite.
