Railgun builds?

[hs0003]

So with the changes to weapon heat, engineering and plasma slug ammo effects has anyone attempted and succeeded at creating a build that relies on railguns as primary damage?
Is it even possible to avoid overheating after firing more than a few railgun shots without relying on heat sinks?

for an FDL, use 2 and engineer them repeatedly until you get reduced thermal load as a secondary effect. That makes them more usable. It's still not great, but it's usable.
Diamondbacks can probably handle double mediums too.

Yeah, I secondary rolled a 31% heat reduction on a hammer, which made it usable.
