In terms of ammo efficiency and nothing else (which I'm guessing is what you're asking) the latron prime is the clear winner. More damage per shot means less ammo to kill (provided you know how to aim and manage the recoil), and it's semi auto nature means you don't have to waste ammo when the burst gun kills with the first shot, resulting in several more rounds being pumped into a corpse. The hek is similar with more power per shot meaning less ammo per kill, but only if you take the risk to get in close, and it's smaller ammo reserve means you could still run out of ammo faster. In terms of overall efficency it's hard to say. Can't comment on the hek here, but the hind does have much better DPS than the latron both on paper and in practice at mid range (due to the very managable recoil making it easy to land all five shots at that distance.) The latron is better with consistent headshots at long range since you can wait for the recoil to settle before firing again, unlike burst guns that force you to fight it until the burst ends.
