I figure i'll clear up this idiotic debate about the two Heks once and for all using the power of logic.

525*(1+1.65+0.9+0.6)*(1+0.9+0.9+0.9+0.9+0.6)*(1+1.2+2)*2.17*0.9+525*(1+1.65+0.9+0.6)*(1+0.9+0.9+0.9+0.6)*(1+1.2+2)*2*2.17*0.1*110008.48635 HEK BODY 525*(1+1.65+0.9+0.6)*(1+0.9*0.9*0.6)*(1+1.2)*4.2*3*0.475+525*(1+1.65+0.9+0.6)*(1+0.9*0.9*0.6)*(1+1.2)*3*0.525=53848.13742 VHEK BODY 525*(1+1.65+0.9+0.6)*(1+0.9+0.9+0.9+0.9+0.6)*(1+1.2+2)*2.17*2*0.9+525*(1+1.65+0.9+0.6)*(1+0.9+0.9+0.9+0.6)*(1+1.2+2)*2*2.17*4*0.1=254171.232 HEK HEAD 525*(1+1.65+0.9+0.6)*(1+0.9*0.9*0.6)*(1+1.2)*4.2*3*4*0.475+525*(1+1.65+0.9+0.6)*(1+0.9*0.9*0.6)*(1+1.2)*3*2*0.525=192955.825755 VHEK HEAD These calculations indicate their absolute average DPS using the (same amount of mod slots used, etc) build w/o firerate mods. As you can see, the regular Hek is superior, but it may face consistency issues and its sustained dps is pretty bad.

The Vhek is a much better weapon overall, and comes pretty close if you aim for the headshots exclusively. However, due to the weird nature of headcrits, it may appear as if the Vhek does way more damage than it should, at times.

If you want a weapon for fighting like 4 enemies at a time that can take out that one big meaty bombard really fast w/o caring much about the trashy mobs, get the regular Hek.

If you want a weapon that you can use in almost any mission against pretty much any foe, get the Vhek.

I hope it clears things up a bit, idunno. Though I believe that the solution I came up with is just common knowledge.

offtopic: i can't believe how many people on this wiki can't even calculate base DPS.
