WHOOPS! Sorry about that :)
EDIT: YOU LIE! It's Flechette/Piercing!!!
As for the Banshee change, I believe that it is supposed to make the Banshee the only light gun that can pop balloons at long range using the Fire damage type.

Hades is already good at popping balloons.

The Hades applies Fire type damage as Direct, not AoE, which means the Pyramdion's balloon is mostly OK. The Banshee would have Fire as its AoE damage type, allowing it to hit the Pyramidion's balloon through the armor, or with hull hits on other ships.

Can I point out that combining Piercing and Explosive in a gun would be pretty broken as it would be able to destroy a ship all by itself with incredible ease? Having two of them on the front of a pyra would be the new meta most likely.
Also, and this is where things get really dodgy, some of the guns in the game right now have a secondary damage type that deals more damage than their primary. As such, I wouldn't discriminate between Shatter/Flechette and Flechette/Shatter for instance. That cuts the number of damage combos in half sadly.

A tweak in the damage, a tune in the fire rate and give a few shots. The sole fact that this gun could technically kill on it's own is not going to make it broken and if it is weak enough a pyramidion with the typical gat/mortar would probably win against it. Especially since both of these guns will shoot at the same time, which could lead to both guns reloading when the armor is down, resulting in the lack of kill.
I would like such a gun on a squid somewhere, maybe for some people on the pyra side because most people don't want to use it, so this could give them some reason to use it. Goldfish side as well and some more.
Wether this gun is broken is not a matter of damage type, it's a matter of balance.
