Its been pointed out that a single UAC 2 now has better overall DPS then the heavier AC 5. Not sure if it is enough to bring it up to balanced levels, but it defiantly gives it more of a niche as a DPS alternative for cheaper tonnage.
The AC/2 does have good DPS, and that's why it's not in my list of buffs. Good DPS by itself however doesn't make the weapon good.

I would actually reduce its speed to something like 1500m/s so that it can sync better with UAC5 and maybe buff damage to 2.5.
It doesn't really need to sync with an AC/5. Honestly I believe that the AC/2 has more in common with the ER Large laser more than it does the AC/5. I prefer the AC/2 to be a weapon that can land hits on fast targets reliably from it's far-reaching distance. If the AC/2 has enough velocity to land targets almost instantly, then players won't need worry about syncing the AC/5 as much.

Velocity is fine, fastest in the game (no modifiers)
It may have the highest velocity in the game, but l do not consider it enough for the pin point damage value of 2 and the range of 720. Players can still miss quite often at that range even despite that. If the AC/2 doesn't have enough pin-point damage, then I would rather have damage that can apply itself to one location easily by having lots of velocity.
