They severely cripple the enemy's balloons, extremely effective close range since you will usually be firing them from above the enemy ship where their guns can't get you. I have seen and used, both as a captain on my ship and as a gunner firing one to great effect and if your teammate(s) is not asleep, you can make short work of your enemies.
Usually seen on Goldfishes and less so on Galleons and I think I've seen one Spire use them once, thought definately not recommended if you're not good.
(No idea about light carronades though since I haven't seen them all that often.)

The main target of any carronade is the balloon. You get in close and in your enemy's blindspots, and disable them. The secondary goals of the carronade is armor destruction, followed by gun breaking (thanks to a small amount of shatter damage). Remember that when the balloon is down, any damage done to it is then transferred to the hull armor/permahull.
Killing people with a lone carronade can take a long time, and usually involves the ground helping you, however on a heavy carronade, kills are entirely possible. They are never super fast though unless they are already battered.

Friedumb, Bdr, and I ran a triple banshee pyramidion with incendiary rounds last night after the patch for the fun of it. We won.
