While the Archer is really more useful for destroying beam cannons, this weapon is absolutely essential in certain missions (most notably Pawns on a Board of Bone) where you have to destroy subsystems. The only thing that is needed to use this is maneuver yourself to get a clear shot at your target subsystem and fire off one or two of these.
