I didn't mean for it to be as powerful as a primary AV weapon, just a supplement to your primary. And it would serve the same purpose, run out of ammo, switch to your sidearm and try to finish it off if the things nearly dead.

One, commandos fulfil a role beyond AV. Carrying a long range weapon and a short range weapon to fulfil the need of the time. And regardless, 2 primary AV weapons would still be superior.
Two, I'm not saying these things are nearly as powerful as their bigger counterparts. Not to mention infantry running one would put themselves at a disadvantage when said weapon isn't needed. More like ultra light AV weaponry, killing a tank would be a very long and drawn out process.
And I don't think it would invalidate AV at all, if anything improve their capabilities and give them more options to work with, while putting them at a further disadvantage to conventional weaponry.
It's not THAT terrible of an idea(right?). No different than AI sidearms.

Well, it doesn't damage it that much. Say like 150 to 200 a shot. And I dunno, specialized rounds that penetrate armor causing internal damage. It's the future after all.
Just something supplemental to the AV arsenal, as I feel they are lacking with just the nades and proxies (which need some loving). Plenty of times where I got a tank on the verge of death, where just that little bit of extra would of done the trick.
I imagine that you could start with your nades, pop a few with the sidearm, then finish it with your main for the range.
