Deth Machine Rifle is primarily slash, making it deal tonnes of damage against Infested and Grineer when built for crit damage, fire rate and punch through. Get fire rate and crit damage on a riven for it, and you'll be pretty much set. Then just pop it on Diriga and it can tear through enemies from ages away with decent accuracy. The beauty of it is that it doesn't need to reload either; the frequency of hits it does on the enemy is likely to proc some slash and crits so building it for crit/status chance is not necessary. (Imagine ~30 fire rate with no reload)

People tend to use Vulklok or Deconstructor over the Deth Rifle because they have built and used it inefficiently. Of course the Sweeper is hands down the best one you can use, but when you're using a Shotgun as your Primary, you'll want to use Deth Machine Rifle on your Sentinel above the rest. Assuming you built it correctly, have a riven for it and are using the Diriga Sentinel.
