Lower its rate of fire to 1 shot per second. Lower it's heat per shot to 0.5.
Now it's DPS is more reasonable for a 6 ton weapon (2 DPS, not 4 DPS), but it's heat is also much more manageable (0.5 per second) and befitting a ballistic weapon. The lower rate of fire should also make it easier to use it effective at long range (since you need to line up your shot at that range, which takes time.) Basically, the tweak would make the weapon more heat manageable at long and short range, and only affect its potential "burst" damage at lower ranges.

No one will use it like that...no one.
Still awaiting answer from the Devs, as something is obviously wrong with the Ac/2
