I might be picking the name up from there, but the quote is definitely about a Shadowrun weapon; the "light ammo" part is a specific reference to a game mechanic. I haven't had either book in years, though, so who knows. The SSC riff might have been from the entry for that thing that was based on the Calico, ISTR that also had a stupidly high rate of fire.

Edit: Found some scans online. The comment is from the entry for the Ares Crusader machine pistol (pg 16).
