The info on this page is wrong. This thing actually has a very respectable AOE, about the same explosion radius as a Penta's grenade, but it will ONLY become AOE if you aim it at a surface and not an enemy. If you direct hit an enemy, it will deal a lot more damage but no AOE.

The best way to make use of this weapon is to add puncture mods and aim at enemy's feet or walls that are nearby. That way you get the benefit of both the direct hit and the AOE, as the beam will travel through the enemy and hit the floor.
