This is ideal.
But you will HAVE to implement it as a variant... and it will have to be called a "Tactical Rail Rifle". A Breach weapon excels at close range, and this is NOT a close range weapon.
You will upset the peons a bit too much if you changed the standard RR to this mechanic. This is not a tweak, it is a complete redesign.
Why not make it a complete Tactical weapon? Make it semi-auto. It can shoot as fast as necessary, but it is in a constant Charge state.
Basically, it will fire on demand, but it will do more damage per shot if it is allowed to charge.
With a damage drop-off of say.... -67% if the weapon is repeatedly fired without being fully charged.
(Shaving 67% off the damage drops its power back to just under standard RR output.)
I disagree. Like the OP noted, a breach weapon is a High damage, low ROF weapon. The relationship between CQC and Breach weapons is due to correlation, not causation.

The relationship between CQC and Breach weapons is due to correlation, not causation. Semantics. Along the way, many players have associated "breach" with "breaching a fortified position in cqc (albeit erroneously). Did you have a point, or do you simply just not like the Tactical suggestion?
Looking over what I wrote earlier, it looks like I was just arguing semantics. My apologies
