Ixion Flame Vortex Cannon

Every time I see a new medium (or heavy, depending on how you see / name them) weapons thread, it reminds me of this suggestion.
Whenever anyone suggests a new medium weapon it always has words along the lines of 'massive damage' and some aspect of it being better than anything else and leading to it being OP, but the Vortex cannon just fits into a completely viable and balanced niche that isn't filled by anything right now. Plus... Flames and impact?! :D

Exactly. LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea.

Look at them, they're beautiful.
I imagine the Pom Poms being a mid-range (slightly less than light flak) impact and piercing weapon.
4 ammo per clip (4 time firing action, 6 barrels, 3 barrels fire simultaneously alternating but counts as single shot, 2 shots per barrel - think raycast in the heavy carro but with projectiles - increases the chance that some of the projectiles miss the hull or ship all together)
Similar ROF to what's seen in the video.
Total clip does the same piercing damage as 3 mercury shots if all projectiles hit the hull - and the same impact damage as 1 mine assuming all projectiles land. (totals to being about as dangerous as a ship hitting 2 mines?)
Has arming time and loses piercing when up close, 11 second (or longer?) reload means it can't solo kill a ship.
Heavyclip might be OP but i think the ammo reduction will be enough to prevent it from being so, Heatsink might be OP but projectile spread should stop the full clip from hitting.
If its OP nerf it more, thoughts?

complementary idea -
Light Pom Pom
Medium range Incendiary and Flechete weapon.
Has arming time, slightly less than heavy flak range.
More fire then pop.

Ib4 code name beanbag turns out to be pom poms

Like how batman put explosive gel into his fist.
I suggest a heavy weapon that makes a ship explode on impact. I call it the fawkes battering ram.
Pretty much has the same killing power as a loch flak. The hull break is via the ram damage.
