These things are vicious but not for the faint of heart. If fired accurately they deal respectable damage and can deal catastrophic damage to modules: a well-aimed shot from a Large one can knock massive chunks off of a ship's Power Plant (I've done 70% to a Python's PP) in a single hit. 

The drawback is that they're fixed-only with a modest muzzle velocity. A steady hand and lots of practice are essential, and even then hitting a small ship is going to be tricky.
