This weapon is severely underused, partly because it's a niche weapon and partly because it's underpowered. Not in a sense of stats but in a sense of taking up a valuable class 8 slot on a BS. It's an equivalent of mounting an extra flashpoint into a CD slot on a snub. I've seen very few people use it since the 4.85 times. In 4.85 it was at least a bit more usable because the was no class distinction for BSs, but from 4.86 and onwards it became utterly useless.
What I am suggesting is to make them class 9, perhaps with a limit of 2 per battleship. This way, the gun would become a bit more useful for the very few that use it, while they would still be sacrificing firepower against capitals. The likelihood of this change making them OP/of the gun being abused is very low, as it would still be a niche weapon, also many battleships are just not suited for mounting razors due to their size and hardpoint locations. They only really work on med/small BSs and on hardpoints closest to the centre of the ship. After this change this underpowered gun would become a bit more useful for the few people that use it, without affecting most players.
