different weapons, different uses. Burst fire is completely outclassed by gremlins when equivalently/appropriately modded. Charge fire makes it a pocket sniper and... snipers are generally outclassed in DPS wrt ability to kill masses of things fast.

ie you can jerk off to gigantic single target damage but if you bring this + paris/snipetron/whatever to a T3 def you aren't really going to be credit to the team.

tbqh I'm not sure what the logic behind having a sniper sidearm is, when the sidearms are generally better are for taking out heavies en masse.

It's totally fine for running regular missions though. It's more endgame 40min+ survival / Wave 50-60+ defense that it's going to suffer.
