What's Up with Ice Breaker's Perks? (Destiny)

Could anyone tell me what Spontaneous Combustion perk does? I know it's supposed to cause explosions, but if this has been occurring it hasn't been obvious at all. I was expecting it to be a more bad-ass version of Firefly, since it is an exotic weapon, but so far it has been a dud as far as I can tell.

It looks to me that it needs to warm up. Playing patrol the other day, I noticed the first 5-10 kills didn't trigger the explosion effect, then it was happening all of the time. Saw this during strikes last night too.

Doesn't do a ton of damage; more useful for staggering enemies and pinning them down for a follow up shot.
