HGR need to have instant shoot because it's mostly brawling weapon.

No, it needs range because it is a gauss rifle.

Yeah brawling gauss, good one.

Its safer to strap 6 tons of ammo without case to your side than this thing.

No, its pretty much perfect as is (other than low ammo, but the ammo quirks help here)!

Agreed. 270 Would be a good optimal to start with. Apparently it does 20 damage farther out than an AC20 but I don't feel that justifies all its drawbacks.
-11 Slots means you cant use SA or LFE with it nor can you mount it in an arm.
-Its a guass rifle so basically its a ticking time bomb in brawl. AC20s get knocked out, sure. This thing devides your mech in two and takes out all weapons on that side.
-AC20 is point and shoot, HGR needs to be charged
-AC20 gets 7 shots per ton for 140 damage at optimal range.
-GHR gets 5 shots per ton for 125 damage at optimal range and more likely 100 damage at "common" range.

I also support it being reduced to 10 slots.
Case2 (if ever released) could really help mitigate explosions.
