Not worth it, sure it's not the worst Primary you can buy as I have a good collection. Allow me to compare it to laser weapons, both hit fast and accurately.

Now some contrasts that make laser weapons better, all of them have a better ammo supply, some go the extra mile of having a slightly slower fire rate making it last even longer. The lowest ammo supply for a laser weapon is 35, belonging to the Vacuumizer and that weapon has a fantastic time to kill, it only uses about a third of its magazine per kill.

Then the elephant in the room, laser weapons can headshot and the impulse rifle cannot. It is most certainly not worth cutting off 15 points per kill with area damage that you probably didn't need. It takes a second shot because its damage can't be boosted by the Hunter's Altar, while I don't know the numbers on it, I can safely say it makes a huge difference.
