Long story short. Why does noone use them?
They have a decent strength, large AoE and seem to be better than a Storm Bolter to me. I never used them before but I imagine that a Tau gunline behind an Aegis would not like them too much and they might distract some shooting from my Grey Hunters to my pods instead.
Meh. I'll use them if i have extra points, but to be honest, it's usually not worth it. A storm bolter is usually just enough, however it can add a bigger punch, and they usually feel the need to destroy it, taking away fire.
