I believe that it deals x4.5 damage per projectile vs Huskarls (the multiplier is so high to make up for the Huskarl's high pierce armor). However, a single unit will almost never be hit by more than one projectile per shot, as they scatter over a small area. The secondary projectiles also have lower accuracy than the primary, and it is rare for all of them to hit a target, even when firing at grouped enemies. So the Cheiroballista most effective against clustered groups of infantry.
