I'm pretty sure that the havoc rack replaces both carapace mounts. So, I don't
consider the havoc rack to be all that useful; I'd rather have two barrage
missles. (Assuming I could replace them, which I can't, I'd have 5 weapons
plus the head by your argument. I'd rather consider the tail gun to be an extra
"special" weapon only found on Banelords, and not count it towards my normal
complement of 4 weapons.)
