It is indeed a secondary weapon, just one that takes up the elite slot. The only other one that's not a missile/cannon/etc is "Hot Shot" Blaster, which is an Illicit slot secondary weapon. The dead give-aways are the Attack prefix in the rules text, and the dice and range indicators in the upper-right corner, all which mark it as a weapon (just not your primary weapon). Those got past me the first time I looked. :)

It counts as a secondary weapon for all the rules that interact with that, but doesn't count as one of the main categories, so it can't trigger off of cannon/turret/etc-related effects. Major Rhymer's pilot ability, for example, works great with it, but not IG-88B's.
