Yes, it's a matter of how the weapon gets designed (either in Real World or game terms).
Real world weapons that have had this characteristic like the G-11 or the Kriss Super V have fired in extremely short bursts (3 or even 2 rounds/burst) but have had the intention that you get multiple hits ona single target from those bursts. They can't be spread among multiple targets though.
Weapons with super high ROFs like electric gatlings don't have the concentrated fire like the Powers mechanic does. Fire your MG134 out of the side of your helicopter and you've got a super lead hose you can sweep over the whole available arc.
Then there's the other sense of "designed" which is the meta-game/Powers one. In that sense any weapon designed with Powers that has this modifier folows the rules in Powers regardless of its' "sustained" ROF .
