There have been some good ideas but they have been too similar to the Matari Mass Driver
I think you might think that people are trying to emulate the mass driver but the reality is that, That type of weaponry was not only supposed to be matari. Just Like assault rifles have their Variants for each race there would have been an eventuality where there would be a mass driveresque weapon for each race too but would be less effective to a degree. If there ever was an assault PLC with 3 rounds, it would in fact be less effective than the mass driver since the projectile is slow, the dropoff is weird at best and the splash area is overall less than that of the mass driver. So In CCP Rattati's words:
CCP RATTATI'S views on Rifle variations

I personlly want the racial style weapon to be the best in class, (GAR, SCR, CR, RR) and the other variants to be not as good, pale imitations, so they are utility weapons if you like the "feel" or need to use one situationally. But that's my opinion and as I see it, we are allowed to mold it as we see fit.
The Thing to take from that statement is not that h is talking about assault rifles but that he is talking about variations of a weapon. So an assault Plasma Cannon would be a utility weapons created as a pale imitation of the mass driver just as described by the underlined sentence.
It's not about making a "noob tube" which is what I know you are fearing, and trust me I use to to fear it too, but I am a firm believer, and I've seen it too much in Dust 514 to believe otherwise, that if it's hard to use people are not going to use it because people are more interested in using the strongest most easiest thing they can get their hands on. So if the Plasma Cannon ever gets an assault variant, for utilities sake, I am pretty sure that the minority of the people are going to use it because it is not going to be as good of a weapon as any other weapons specifically designed for anti-infantry. It would just be a variant for people who put their sp into an anti-vehicle/support ant-infantry weapon, to get out of tough situation if needed.
