 * Weapon's spread cone can be shrunk by zooming in.

Trivia

 * The Strun appears to use a tubular magazine, presumably the cylindrical protrusion near the rear above the stock - the Warframe will push this section while reloading.
 * Assuming the Warframe is adding shells into this tube, or replacing it, it would imply that the shells used by Strun are extremely small, which is quite puzzling given the enormous choke.
 * The regular Grineer Trooper used to use this weapon prior to . They now wield Sobeks.
 * Corrupted Crewmen commonly use the Strun in Void missions, except that their versions fire a burst of yellow energy pellets instead of bullets.
 * The Strun is most likely a Tenno weapon, despite its augmentation the Strun Wraith, a Grineer-focused customization. The Strun bears a faint Tenno marking on it stock as proof. With the addition of the Latron Wraith, the suffix seems to have lost any Grineer focus.
 * Additionally, the Strun shares many similarities to the Boar, which is a weapon that has received a Prime version, proving it as Orokin technology.
 * The Strun received a PBR (Physically Based Rendering) update in.
