Even if empire could equip it, you're forgetting that it's range one only. The Autoblaster cannon is an amazing weapon too if you can fire it every round... but it's designed with the knowledge that this is a difficult feat.

It would be interesting if Empire could equip it on TIE/D and Alpha Gunboats. I wonder if it would see any use then. To date, I don't remember ever seeing it fielded even once. :(  It's just not worth tying yourself to a range 1 cannon that will, more often than not, damage you back if it hits, and which then has to be reloaded.  Not even the 4 dice are worth that... might as well buy up to the HLC so you can shoot it often, with far easier range requirements.
