I thought the same thing before I got my Hek. ..

But the extra accuracy makes a HUGE difference fighting grineer and corpus. My Hek kills any corpus and any non-heavy grineer in one hit on any level at any range. I found the strun struggles at range. Even when the enemies are closer, the accuracy of the Hek allows you to place ALL your pellets on the enemies' weak spots. It makes killing ancients, heavies and bosses significantly easier.

Also, people have forgotten to mention the Hek fires faster than the Strun, so you don't have to waste points on a fire rate mod.

The Hek also reloads significantly faster than the Strun, which makes the small magazine not as big of an issue.

Some people might still prefer the strun over the hek against infested, because they tend to come up close anyway, but even for infested, I prefer the Hek.

After trying almost every primary weapon in the game, I would say the Hek is the best.
