I am just trying a C3 Pulse + C3 fixed Cannon, on my road to C3 fixed Plasma.
A challenge to aim with, very close-up fights required, and definitely more of a Big Snakes knotter. Yet the C3 Pulse works down even a Cobra in a satisfying short time. And no energy problems. I could imagine it is of little use in PvP, though -- or maybe it would offer WW I airfight-style combat ...
And boy, this cannon really looks like a CANNON! A shame you cannot see the muzzle from your canopy.

On my Cobra :
* 2 gimballed class 1 Beam lasers under the wings ( can use them a lot with a B3 power plant ) They take down shields on large targets and fry small ones ( Sidewinders, Eagles)
* 2 fixed class 2 canons in front to use at short range on larger targets.

I found gimballed C3 cannons today. Now I rule the skies in my vulture with a beam and a cannon, both gimballed. Made about 1 million in a RES within 30 minutes, Pythons, Clippers and two Annies... 8-)
