I've been putting off man-portable railguns for the Tecarians for a long time (outside of the M90 sniper and M91 marksman railguns) because halving the magazine capacity of each soldier for power cells just doesn't fly, but I could easily address that issue by connecting the railgun directly to the infantry droids' own power core. However the issue with that is that most droids lack the external connections for such a high gauge power cable, we'd need a whole new model of droid to accommodate that system...a whole new model such as the new Dragoons, who would also benefit immensely from a high caliber, high powered weapon with minimal recoil.
If power,size or weight is really the issue remember the conversation we had on Electromagnetic-gunpower hybrid system could work.
