I tried this for my Twin Sons AU system I found that the easiest way to use them was rocket launchers and hand held weapons for firepower built in weapons I found cause more problems than I cared for

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

I was trying to build a Stinger clone but had to bump the weight to make it work. 

Dragon Cat - your solutions work well but I was going more for a security or non frontline use.  Something that you'd let a commercial entity use to protect their assets, or intimidate the locals, without letting them use something that would be a legitimate threat to the powers that be.

How about a hand held main gun - machine gun for example.  Then either an SRM launcher with tear gas or smoke ammo or grenade launchers for defence

Main thing I consider with fuel cell designs is use weapons with minimal heat

My designs that were on forum seem to have disappeared but ill look them out
