The Hail-Fire is very heavy when fully loaded and not good for slinging around and aiming at things. That coupled with the fact that it has less than stellar ranges, AND it's a flywheel system which means it's not very accurate, means that you'd be better off using something more conventional like an Alpha Trooper. The massive capacity of the Hail-Fire really isn't a plus when you consider that you can carry more ammo on your person.

Really, there is no reason to get the Hail Fire unless you're playing a support role- even then the Vulcan betters it in everything but range.
