It's MR8 because it has enough downsides to bring it down to that point. 1 shot with a ~1 second modded reload, low pellet count, travel time, projectile drop off all add up to make it an awkward weapon to use.

Also it's only nominally MR8 considering the requirements for building it. If you can farm level 60-ish Orb Vallis missions for the components at MR8 then good job.
