Thinking on that, I made up this little guy:
Light Stubber, Range: 36", Str: 3, AP: -, Type: Salvo 2/5.
This provides a high volume of fire when the shooter has a chance to set up, doesn't minimize his firepower too much on the run, the low Str keeps the 5 shots from being obnoxiously overpowered, while the 5 shots provide the volume for the Str 3 to actually do something.
Too bad I don't think we'll see its like.
