...Can you imagine what PGI will do to Rotary ACs and HAGs?
HAGs are actually supposed to fire in bursts in the BT mechanics. They pretty much acted like an LB 40-X with longer range, more or less (I think that the pellets were factored into clusters of 5?). The TechManual description compares HAGs to "rotary gauss" with a high rate of fire and smaller-caliber slugs.
HAGs not being pinpoint was actually what justified their extreme damage. Can you imagine the 16 ton HAG40 doing 40 damage to a single hit location at Gauss Rifle range? It would be pretty crazytown...
