Question about the new experimental weapon limits

With the upcoming addition of the "experimental weapons stabilizer" (https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/galnet/azimuth-announces-experimental-weapons-stabiliser), we could in theory have 5 or 6 experimental weapons instead of the usual 4. One thing that wasn't clear in the article - does this work with guardian weapons, such as gauss cannons? Or does this only apply to the human AX weapons?
I'm hoping it works with guardian weapons, but the explicit mention of only missile racks & MCs has me a bit worried.
 
I suspect this is going Not great (like the multi limpets) and be a Size 5 for 1 extra and Size 7 for 2 Modules and will have some factor like excess weight that will make it terrible .... (goiding ships are already a pain to get back from Jail after someone flies in front of you and sends you to jail)

I'm hoping Size 6/4 , but .....
 
I’m hoping for something like:

  • A “medium” stabiliser goes on a C2 HARDPOINT and allows you to then fit a single C2 AX weapon
  • A “large” stabiliser fits a C3 HP and allows you then to fit TWO C2 AX weapons
  • Only one stabiliser allowed per ship
  • Non AX weapons cannon be fitted to a stabiliser (prevents standard weapon scope creep)

If it’s an internal module then it’s an absolutely stupid idea and will be of almost zero use.

We already require 3 GMRPs (mandatory) and then potentially a Limpet Controller, Cargo Rack, AFMU and (perhaps) Shield Generator. There will be no room left for the HRPs required to stay in the fight if we have to sacrifice ANOTHER internal slot.

This started on the Jan 3rd Galnet and is about AX weapons. Nothing has been mentioned per Guardian weapons.
