I made a weapon kinda like that.
the Hellfire weapon system.
1 cannon is a bit pants but very small
a twin array fires twice as fast as a single cannon. These are used as capship turrets.

a hellfire array as carried by fighters has 3 cannons in a single package.

Bombers etc carry Heavy Hellfire arrays that mount 5 cannons and are practically light beam weapons. Some capships carry these as fighter defence.

Real fun to use and good against hard to hit targets. If you can hit a target most of the time anyway though a Kayser is more effective.

I just made a scarab with no power output but a weapons bank large enough to fire a single shot from a pulsar cannon (250 pts damage).

they make great anti cruiser weapons.
kinda like the Xray laser bomb mentioned earlier. Not a Sexp in sight. make them Kamakazi and they fly in, take their shot and then ram the target and blow up aswell.

this sound like what you were wanting?

The best thing against small-fast-light targets like drones would be a flamethrower- type weapon... Short range, wide area blanket damage, not really dangerous but enough for those little buggers.  

I'll let someone else figure out the best way to implement it.

wow, this topic sparked a lot of interest.  It even made the HLP news page    Sadly, I don't think I'll be getting around to making a remote unit.  I'm busy helping Venom with his models at the moment (which is growing to become very frustrating mind you.  The gluing...grr...).  Hopefullly I'll get this process down-pat.
