Well, the reason is because the Mangler Cannon is range 1-3 and the Heavy Laser Cannon is range 2-3. If you are using the HLC with the Outrider title, you will have a deadzone around you where you can't make attacks. This can be mitigated by taking a barrel roll action away from your target for a little more distance, but on a low pilot skill Outrider, the higher Pilotskill ships will be able to in turn boost or barrel roll or Daredevil into your deadzone, while getting the benefit of Range 1 bonus die.
