I'd use bigger railguns with very thin rails, high power and *lots* of nicely protective armour (most of my high power rails have 30+ cm of armour, some much more).
My current 110MW railgun throws a 1g Carbon pellet at 46.3km/s using 15m rails only 10cm thick, supported by 70cm of moderate density armour. It is only intended for PD work of larger vessels, and the area defense weapon of PD ships - reaching to ~50km vs a 1m^2 target and ~279km vs a 1000m^2 tgt.
With a 3dps traverse is comes in at a fairly hefty 385t and 5.95 Mc, but that is much lower than the equivalent weapon in the previous version.
