It's that bad. Once you get Scattergun, it's barely a gain over Scattergun if you take in account the generated heat. And with the upgraded Hypercharge, it's even worse.
You can unbind it and use Scattergun instead, you'll find the same results.

But the biggest problem is that Flamethrower is as satisfying to use as watering my grandmother's garden.
