Let's look at aircraft then. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-35_Lightning_II)
F-35 lightning carries the same gatling gun as the AC-130. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_AC-130) The AC-130 is over 3 times the mass of the F-35.
The M-134 (dillonaero.com) can be mounted on a small pickup truck.

Since vehicles automatically have 2 hardpoints, just make the 'oversized' take up a second hardpoint.  Maybe make them take more hardpoints to compensate.

I think you're looking for a whole lot of extra effort chasing the relative size of a weapon in differing TL.  What's good for the players is fair game coming back to them.


 One note on the F-35, if you look at the spec's it has a lot of power left over. It is assumed that it will have some sort of energy weapon instead of the main cannon. Or at least in the near future it will.
