Likely, if the weapon is designed to have a high RoF in the first place. High RoF autofire is usually about purposes other than carefully aimed fire -- suppression, recon by fire, or increased chance to hit, especially vague targets (because the target and firer are moving and jerking their weapon around and whatnot). You don't want all the pulses headed down the same path.
If the idea were to put more power on one spot, for snipers or target ranges, you'd built the weapon to have a higher power pulse and RoF 1.
