assuming the thing is feasible it seems like it'd be a fun way to terrorize Escape, Botany, Chemistry, and Genetics, maybe the Brig too.
It doesn't strike me as too overpowered to let it go through windows.. Even if you're shooting from space, you'd have the element of surprise on the first target only. Everyone else would immediately realize what's going on when a window explodes and someone starts bleeding and they would run for cover behind a wall, or run out of the room, or start ducking and weaving. This would be very funny when someone uses it on an overcrowded escape arm. if that seems overpowered, well, I mean you can already chuck 11x11 bombs at escape from space anyway..
in other words, it'd be an elaborate way to pick off an isolated target in parts of the station that are usually difficult to access, or a tool to cause havoc and fear, making people avoid entire stretches of the station, but not serve as an effective rampage weapon. which i think would be cool.
make the rifle's bullets weak against pods and then pods could be the hard counter to space snipers. while the sniper is too busy looking through his scope a mining pod sneaks up behind them and drills them to death. splat
