Basically a Full Auto version of the Striker (RED to RED, base is probably similar but only relevant at low levels since you should start seeing RED versions of both before level 30), only with just over half the damage. Now with a larger clip size and full auto you may be able to make up for that to some extent by spending more time firing (although at $8 per bullet, if you want to spam you'd better not need your cash) but you're spending a lot of money and an augment slot (overclocked 10 will make the damage comparable for most click speeds) just to turn a striker fully auto. Oh, and the extra 20 rounds mean almost double the movement penalty.

If you get a good one, and prefer full auto, you may well prefer one of these to a striker. The heartburn will take more upgrading to get to the same place ( you can overclock the heartburn, where you can't a striker), and will use more ammo to get the same effect, and is heavier, but if none of these are issues, or if you can't get a decent striker, or you don't have a good mouse click speed, then feel free to use the heartburn.

Neither a strong nor weak gun, it outdamages most assault rifles, but falls well short of the best. P ersonally, if I really wanted the full auto, I'd probably just go for the T40 LMG (non-RED), otherwise there is little reason to choose this over a Striker.
