Beam weapon full discharge for balance scaling

As someone who uses 'Beam weapons' as a primary single-target damage source, while I appreciate the intent of the idea, I don't think extra attacks are necessary.

Using Discharge Coil as the example, I have seen it's damage increase with the recent changes, and between the guaranteed anti-armor capacity and much higher hit and crit reliability, I am and willing to trade out FRAs for the ability to almost certainly hurt or kill in a round instead of plink a bunch, particularly from the safety of being away from AoOs.

Secondly, as a ranged attack, it should not get increasing iterative attacks, as it would break with paradigm. Rifles, shotguns, pistols, crossbows, etc. all have fixed attack profiles from 1 to 100.   Discharge Coil, and the other Beam mods, are not melee-attack replacers; they are mods that turn the weapon into a ranged demo-based hybrid weapon.  The concept of being able to install a mod and receive a single FRA that ignores armor from 30 meters does not seem well thought out.
