I still think the Amarr heavy weapon should be essentially a giant scrambler rifle or laser rifle. New, original concept? Not really, but if you fiddled with the stats to make it more an AV weapon than an AI one, it could be cool. For Gallente, we need a man portable blaster (think somewhere around small blaster turret), which would be an AI weapon, of course. If we got these, I think your idea is the start of a whole new set of heavy weapons. It would be great if we had one AV and one AI weapon for each race.
Gallente
AV-Heavy Plasma Launcher (Slower traveling, more damage)
AI-Heavy Blaster Gun (Basically the Gallente knockoff HMG)
Amarr
AV-Giant Laser Rifle
AI-Giant Scrambler Rifle
(could be swapped with each other)
Caldari
AV-Forge Gun
AI-Your concept Heavy Rail Rifle
Minmitar
AV-Sticky RE Launcher?
AI-HMG
Just some ideas I had.

That would be Minmitar.
Minmitar=Projectile/Explosive-----------Rust Colored
Caldari=Missiles/Rail tech---------------Gray Colored
Gallente=Plasma (Blaster)---------------Green colored
Amarr=Lasers------------------------------- Gold/Red Colored
This is how you can tell what race a weapon/vehicle is outside of looking at the shape. The other thing to be considered is the damage profile of each race. Gallente and Amarr armor tank and have weapons meant for taking down shields. Caldari and Minmitar shield tank (although, Minmitar can dual tank sometimes) and they have weapons meant for chewing through armor.
So, this will need to be taken into account when thinking of new weapons for each race. I personally feel that a Mass Driver scaled up to a Heavy weapon would either be OP or mostly useless, which is why I was thinking maybe an RE launcher for the Matari. Single round mag, same weapon/flight mechanics as the PLC, but it sticks RE's were it lands. These RE's can then be exploded all at once.
