Under the DS2 rules-as-written, this isn't a problem. If you want to fire 
more than one of those weapons in a single DS2 game turn they all need to 
be of the same type and size and they all have to fire at the same target. 
The main effect of putting three big guns (eg. HKP/5s or MDC/5s) in a 
single turret is that you increase the odds for drawing a "Systems Down: 
Firer" chit and knock *your own* vehicle out...

"Death of a thousand cuts" - though again the biggest effect of adding 
extra gun barrels is that you increase the odds of drawing an SD:F chit and 
knock *your own* vehicle out :-/

FWIW one of the "cheesiest" concepts in DS2 is to use Superior FCS while 
ignoring Stealth: Superior FCS is seriously underpriced, while Stealth is 
just as seriously overpriced... Enhanced FCS is underpriced as well, though 
not quite as badly as Superior :-/
