What? Did you not read the post that you just quoted? Did you not watch and listen to the video?
30% less DPS than its energy counterpart the Small Laser.
2,33 MINUTES to emty 1 tonne of ammo for 80 damage.
1,20 minutes to do the same 80 damage with a Small Laser
Oh, I do have the chance to do crits if I by some miracle get through the armour with my 4MG spider against another light mech like the commando that has MORE firepower and can kill me with no problem.
So, tell me where it is a good balanced weapon when a 5 tonne lighter mech outperforms me in damage completely because HE can actually penetrate my armour WAY faster than I could ever do.
Oh, yes, I CAN do the 80 damage in 50 seconds with 4MG's but then I also need to spend 4 more tonnes of ammo.

Finally met someone who knew what they were doing with MG last night, the second my armor was stripped and I tried to take cover my weapons were down. Normally you can torso twist and hope that crit doesn't pop your guns but it was pretty much instant. Kudos the the light that was pulling it off.
That's good - but if you faced him one on one would he manage to get through the armour you had by himself - with MG's?
