The payload rifle fires up to 3 rounds per second and can rapid-fire 6 rounds per second, all at much higher velocities and presumably energies. Even if it were fired slower, we're still talking about much larger impulses for every shot, in a much lighter weapon that isn't braced by a tripod.

I know it's not quite related to what you were addressing, but the mention of the XM307 made me look it up for another point of comparison. The XM307 fires a more powerful high-velocity 25x59mm round, at only about 4 rounds per second, from a ~70 pound weapon system (loaded), firing from a tripod, while having a range barely above the 25mm ETC UBGL and only a third that of the ETC payload rifle.
I think the numbers in UT are just plain too high.
