My take is that it should function like a large hip fire laser rifle. It should evaporate any infantry unlucky enough to get between it and the vehicle you are unloading on. However, it should have MASSIVE overheat damage to compensate.
Should be a Charged Long Range beam in 2 stages, first a Melt phase that graduatly heats up the target followed by a punch through pulse, the second pulses damage depends on how long you have been able to "melt" the target in the first fase.

There is already an AI laser, the forgegun is multi purpse, the HMG is AI, its time for something purely AV, that makes them scramble for cover if they notice the Melting Phase, right before you go inside their tank and blow it up :p

Isnt the problem with weapons that can do both either too overpowered against one thing and too useless against the other thing it should supposed to be doing ?
Like the PLC for instance, it can do both but it sucks at both ends...vs the forge gun that can do very well against infantry, but still lacks punch when it comes down to vehicles.
