The A-10's GAU-8 has a little bit of recoil, too.

I'm guessing those LMG's are tied into the anti-missile defense system. You might want to consider replacing them with the heavy man-packed laser described in Arsenal, both to stick with the "frikkin LASER" theme and because I believe lasers are more effective for antimissile work.
I will admit to being sad that there isn't a main tank gun on this thing, but I do understand the concept of equivalent

If the current day AC-130 can handle the recoil from all it's massive cannons and howitzers going off constantly, a railgun isn't going to be that much different.

Also way cooler than a laser and it hits harder at range only real shame is the blast effect. You might hit more than just your target.
