I've used a couple and they always have very little ammo and massive recoil, why do I see loads of players using them?! Surely a scout rifle is the better equivalent, is it not?

Take down a phalanx with 1 headshots, while rifles take 3 or 4 shots to kill it. The massive recoil is because of the damage. To balance things out massive damage = great recoil.
