What you said is kind of what I'm talking about. The burst fire mechanic has that "delay" as the balancing downside, kind of like the short range of a Sploosh-o-matic, which splats just as fast. That means that you have to make that burst count in a fight. It's pretty much an "all-in" weapon, where you either get a large advantage or a big disadvantage. Without the delay you would have a weapon that melts everyone with no drawbacks, and if there's such a weapon why use anything else?I see this about Nozzlenoses, and brushes, since people say it hurts their hands. I think the unused aspect of the nozzlenoses is more to do with the fact that you have to be more accurate than a charger, since you need all, or almost all shots to line up. The H-3 especially suffers, since if only 2 shots hit, you have to wait quite a while before you can fire again, and most weapons kill you in that interval. I think the L-3's are better, and more used, but I agree they have a niche use, and are generally pretty good if you are on aim.
Now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing that many Squiffers around, so I guess that'll be my pick for Underestimated Weapons
