It's different from an Infantry Plasma Gun. For one thing, if it's
"anti-personnel" it probably shouldn't get the D12* impact of a
regular Plasma Gun.

If I remember correctly, I used D8 Firepower, D10 Impact (more shots
than the Plasma Gun's D6, less impact than the Plasma Gun), but causes
terror effects.

You could also argue that it should be a FP D8, Imp D12. The
"antipersonnel rapid fire" nature of it increases FP by one die type,
but the weapon loses the double impact on a Major Success against
armoured targets. This also fills a niche, as there are D8/D10,
D10/D10, D10/D12, and D6/D12* weapons, but no D8/D12.

If I were to use it again, I'd opt for the latter option.
