Is my Augmented Magrail Pistol Monster Idea RAW for 2e?

the combat arms can have a STR of 18 each arm.
manipulators can have STR of 9 each.
soo... yes. not a problem. These are high tech pistols that only weigh 1 kilo loaded.

Reload?: see Hi-Cap Mags on CSC175. fastest way to reload is to not reload. Save reloading for after combat but before weapons detail and rack time.

Breakdown of this example: Magrail normal mag=20 rnds. so 40 if HiCap. Auto rating is 4 so times 3 = 12 rounds per full auto burst. So 3 full auto bursts like this before having to reload. 120D damage per full auto out of all barrels... hmm.... that's 360D damage before I am down to only 4 rounds in each mag... maybe I wont blast all my ammo on every target except those cases where you want to make sure absolutely, positively, that the thing is dead.
The high capacity magazine adds weight (so call it 10 Kg +50% or 15 kg). All the gear (combat arms and cuffs) to let you carry them add weight (all that metal call it another 10 kg total 25 kg) . The arm strength isn't the only strength you need, your legs and back are now carrying about 1/3 your body weight extra mass. Now you are holding all that weight in front of you, during your combat your centre of gravity shifts it is now no longer above your legs you need to brace yourself (which all that recoil will throw off) or you will fall over. You are also very slow moving with all that extra mass, agility now sucks, there goes your Dex modifier if any (it may shift negative).

Also when using TWO weapons you get a DM -2 on each. Using TEN weapons what is your DM -20? Finally it is hard to grapple with your HANDS FULL so drop those two weapons.

Of course in any high law level society you're not allowed off the ship except into a brig with all your power drained as you ARE a weapon. Likely when (if you are allowed to) you leave you will be told DON'T COME BACK. Your ship may be blocked from landing or even refuelling (hope you have a gas giant available). So likely you are restricted to low TL worlds and can't get medical aid due to all the high TL implants. Short life expectancy.
