I think it is alright. The weapon is difficult to move and looks to be more something you add to a castle's defenses rather than use it to protect a marching army. It is also possible they are difficult to make and there are not many of them around yet.

Also Bron was using the weapon as one man and he managed to only get 2 shots off and came close to killing the dragon. If you had a team reloading the weapon and many of them aimed at a dragon, looks like they could be effective.
