Hmm... I'll have to fix that. An MMG and HMG variant blaster could probably use that. I think I'll rework the light cannon into a RoF 20! mounted HMG type, or maybe even a 60! or 100! variant.

I'd suggest a competitor with exactly the same performance except a single shot generator instead of semi-auto, and D instead of 2D. Should cut the weight down to 69/D, giving ST 18B. Still a nightmare for a man-portable weapon, but a bit less of one. Dropping to RoF 1 Shots 6 is a disadvantage against targets that can dodge, but is generally not ill-suited to a sniper or anti-material rifle.
Hmm... to be fair, I added the B after seeing the weight and figuring it would commonly be fired from the prone position using a bipod, without adjusting the calculated ST stat for use with it. I need to look at those rules again.
