It's illegal to use on personnel, just like a 50 cal.  But you can
shoot equipment with it.  Amazing how many personnel wear and carry
equipment...

Which does bring up the question of whether there are some sort of
recognized codes of battle in space.  For instance it was considered
piracy to attack an enemy vessel without showing your true colors first
on the high seas (so I've read).  Also you stood to and passed on a
certain side of another ship for various reasons.
