Depends how much power you put into them, and the shell design. Also the number of coils. Not quite sure how you'd calculate the power of one, but it'd be a combination of the above factors. Potentially if you had an enormous battery you could fire an extremely powerful shot (again, hard to say exactly how powerful), but really I suppose you could fire the weapon at any power level. Shooting faster means slower moving, weaker shots, while shooting slower means faster moving and more powerful shots. Both reactors and batteries would contribute quite a bit to the capabilities of MACs; better reactors allow your guns to charge faster (more powerful shots or equally powerful but more frequent shots), while more/better batteries would allow you to enter each engagement with the ability to fire more powerful/frequent shots before depleting your energy supply (after which you'd be consuming power as soon as your reactor produces it, meaning that your firepower, rate of fire, or both would drop). The above is assuming that your reactors can't support firing at full power as fast as possible (if they could, that would mean either you had really weak guns or absurdly powerful reactors).
