Hardly, as all of these conditions can be met fairly well.

In fact a gat harpoon pyra ram is ALMOST actually good enough to be considered a "standard" possible loadout.

A side or back harpoon on a galleon is also not terrible - it sure as hell beats many of the other guns you can place there.

The new harpoon duration makes it hard for the achievement though, but I'm sure you'll get it eventually.

JinxedHatesYou:
I actually just got it by carefully sitting on enemy junker and pushing him down on the ground.
But, still, as a man who spent last few days on builds with 'poons - those are not great weapons.

Yes, the reload times are WAY too long - for absolutely no reason. Even if it had 100% uptime (5-6 second reload), it wouldn't be broken imo. It would be AWESOME.

That said I still see more people using them than banshees - though they both fill very minor niches.

Richard LeMoon:
The fear was that the current force would be abused. So, the reload was lengthened to make the gun practically unusable.

Hoja Lateralus:
From my experience when someone asks what harpoon does the right answer should be "It takes up a weapon slot". Some even say that harpoon is "achievement gun" because it's used only (or at least mostly?) just to get achievements.

Back gun is mostly not used so I can mostly agree but side? Other guns - like what? Gatling on the side is great for short distance (especially combined with hwacha), hades or artemis are also great, even flak or banshee can be 'just okay' there.
