An assault cannon fires hundreds of shots per second according to lexicanum, (represented in-game by assault 4) but a punisher has twenty shots, how much is that? thousands of shots per second? The model does not look like it's capable of that.

The different rate-of-fire(s) in game are more a result of in-game balance, rather than their realistic RoF I'd imagine.
Same with many weapons (e.g. Shuriken, Heavy Bolters) I expect.

Enlist as a virtual Ultramarine! Click here for my Chaos Gate (PC) thread.

"It is the great irony of the Legiones Astartes: engineered to kill to achieve a victory of peace that they can then be no part of."
- Roboute Guilliman

"As I recall, your face was tortured. Imagine that - the Master of the Wolves, his ferocity twisted into grief. And yet you still carried out your duty. You always did what was asked of you. So loyal. So tenacious. Truly you were the attack dog of the Emperor. You took no pleasure in what you did. I knew that then, and I know it now. But all things change, my brother. I'm not the same as I was, and you're... well, let us not mention where you are now."
- Magnus the Red, to a statue of Leman Russ

The GAU-8 Avenger (the gun on the A-10 Warhog and the Goalkeeper CIWS, in the video) has a rate of fire of 4200 rpm firing 30mm rounds.

With a larger motor to spin larger caliber barrels to make it more inline with the Punisher Cannon, I could see it obtain the same rate of fire.




Edit: Size of the GAU-8
