The Wombo Combo deals additional kinetic area damage from its Rip Rockets. Most ARs have only a single damage type. Since this weapon deals kinetic damage on top that caused by its regular ammo, it is good for crowd control. If you can stack fire rate and projectile buffs on the weapon, the Rip Rockets will trigger at shorter intervals, allowing you deal significantly more DPS.
