Most weapons that do a significant amount of burst damage have an appropriately menacing animation to go with them - torpedoes, harpoons, plasma cannon shots, etc. Shouldn't the AM Blaster's shot animation should be slightly more scary (i.e. "I really should avoid that", as opposed to "Oh look, just another blaster shot" and then your hull gets ripped to pieces)? Perhaps if the shot itself were larger, or if it were a more menacing colour, like red, it would look like a weapon to avoid. (Even the mining blaster looks more menacing than the AM Blaster)

The difference between the AM blaster and torpedoes/plasmas is that you can evade the latter. So there's a gameplay reason for them to be extra noticeable. The AM is just to fast to evade it.

Besides, it already is the biggest small weapon effect, bigger than the mining blaster bolt actually (just checked).
