Don't listen to him...      I dig bursts.

I'm with Russel (unless it's an electric), but my SATA MiniJet is fine for bursts and shading. Spot Repair tip if you want a smaller burst layout. This said, I've seen many folks use airbrushes for bursts, works fine...

I will highly recommend the only gun I have ever used, aside from a
Pasch airbrush from my plastic model building days. It's the Lemmer
A-710S.   I bought the T-55 package with the gun and turbine but
the gun is available separately if you already have an HVLP setup. I
also added a second cup so I could dedicate one for color and the
other for clear.
Along with the usual horizontal and vertival spray patterns it also
has a round setting. With the fan width dialed way down this thing
can shoot a dot a bit bigger than a pencil eraser.

I've only got the 1mm tip, so I can't really comment. The spray's not huge, relatively adjstable, and works fine for me. An airbrush will give you a bit more control, I'll wager, for subtle burst effects, but I'm comfortable and happy with my SATA, so I don't plan to buy anything else for the occasional bursts I do.
