Yes, actually.

the giant gatling hammer is the weapon for that teams heavy hitter, he is impossibly strong due to hyper dense musculature and can support a larger weapon; therefore he uses it. Given the massive weight it has virtually zero recoil even firing full speed, and the added mass allows it to crush through heavy armor (such as a deathstalker) more or less effortlessly.

Vulcanus is a shotgun roughly the size of a small child, is wielded by someone standing 9' tall (meaning he needs a much larger weapon anyways), and fires shells roughly equivalent to an Artillery emplacement.

Ballistarium is a massive mag-rail sniper rifle. it will be smaller as the user upgrades it (and finds a way to make more compact EM generators with the same leve of power), but as it stands it can put a tungsten pellet through 3' of armor plating..

and the briefcase is an axe measuring 6' long with 2' blades and a RPG launcher running through the shaft.

That last one is entirely because giant weapons are fucking awesome. In universe reason.
