Gattling Gun Fix

1366 DMG for a fully perked Gatling Gun at Epic T5 is unacceptable. It not only does less burst damage than most cannons, most importantly, it gets affected too much by defense points.
Say:
1, Exposing yourself in front of a shooter with 40 defense points, you do 766 damage with 15 clips, while unfriend shooter can deal at least 2000 damage with two cannon shots.
2, Exposing yourself in front of a defender with 100 defense, sorry you do not to damage.
3, Exposing yourself in front of a fixer, sorry the fixer got nitro and runs away, but if the fixer didn't use nitro, you can do maybe somewhere around 1066 damage.
4, Now speeders and enforcers seem to be the only viable target, but with their bubbles and agility, you don't do much damage either.

Then:
1, What is this weapon really for? Fun?
2, Why 1 slot not 2? I prefer making it a primary weapon
3, Affected by defense points? I feel carronade may do a better job at least it does burst damage, and slows ships down

How to fix:
1, Make it 2 slow weapon
2, AT LEAST double the damage
3, If not bullet damage, at least double clip size and shooting speed (this way defense point still works the way dev intend)
4, If possible, make it go through Tesla Shields
5, Add additional effects such as 1.5 second burn per bullet, or reduces the unfriend ship's armor by 80% as long as it gets hit by the bullets?
