There's one more thing I have to point out about the punched ssg as a starter thing (https://youtu.be/WBR51Dpg5RQ) and it's about BAT swapping - link to the tech below.
In this clip in particular it's used to fast swap into rocket launcher and ballista at the end. Could have been a longer combo from that point - rocket punch spam for example - but the Tyrant just dies :)

Longer explanation for those who like to read :O
BATS and fast swapping aren't easy to connect in general. For example you can't transition from a fast lock-on to a BATS combo via mod cancel, not even if you use a heat blast as the connection point: you're gonna transfer the slow rocket launcher bring-up animation. On the other hand when you end a BATS without mod cancelling, the last weapon will have a slow bring-down animation if it's a heavy one - rocket launcher/ballista/ssg, last one can't even be mod cancelled.
Of course you could end the BATS with heavy cannon or heat blast since they can enable a fast swap immediately after. Nothing to say about heat blast (if you manage to have one charged xddd), but ending a BATS with heavy cannon feels kinda meh.
Well, it turns out that you can just use the punched ssg which is your best final tool 90% of the times anyway in a BATS. Using the ssg as a starter after a mod cancel works ONLY in a BAT swap because you're inheriting the fast bring-up animation of the very first weapon - here the plasma rifle. If you punch swap the ssg after a lock-on mod cancel, it won't work.
Be warned though that after a BATS most mods will be broken for a while, most notably sticky bombs and lock-on, so your fast swapping options aren't that many.

There is another instance where ssg becomes a starter: during the reload animation https://youtu.be/eWM4XXJAkU4. The two things might be connected, who knows.
