Call me crazy, but if this thing worked, wouldn't it be mildly useful for trench warfare?

You're crazy.

Sure, it would be mildly useful in the sense that it could kill an enemy soldier standing nearby. It would also be dangerous and inconvenient and in almost all ways inferior to a real rifle.

Can you imagine the neck pain of trying to rapid fire that thing? Can you imagine an enemy round pinging off your extra high-profile headgun and giving you whiplash?

No fun. What's our solider doing with his unoccupied arms, masturbating?

If war ever gets to the level that we need to be using amputees in combat, then we have failed as a nation.

we WILL use amputees in combat but they will have cyber augmented limbs

I suppose I could see the logic of a face gun for something like a robot where that's also where it's cameras are and it'd both have a strong enough neck to not get fucked by it but also actually accurately aim with it, but for a human I feel like you'd be unable to fine aim outside dick touching range (for guns that is, it would probably be "easy" to aim up close, but then so is literally any modern handgun)
