Concur, little practicable use due to their bulk/weight and slow reload times.

On the other hand, the larger, carriage mounted versions did serve to protect gates, bridges or other narrow approaches, but the same reload issues render these weapons, at best, one or two shot wonders, still having the possibility of facing a 80-barrel version guarding a gate, well, going over that wall sure looks inviting...
