Don't underestimate strun...

Both do about the same damage, but modded strun has a 10 shot clip, hek only 6. That's a huge difference when you are being charged by a big wave of infested. There is only one choice there. At range Hek is better, but still weak compared to anything that can actually snipe (I use a lex pistol which takes heads off with complete accuracy from extreme range).

The larger spread can have advantages too - fighting at closer range you're much more likely to have a few stray pelets freezing other targets. At range particularly with hells chamber you can use it like a large freeze/stun cone to slow the leading enemies and bunch them all up for your ultimate power. Particularly good on defense where you can hold up waves of enemies coming from multiple directions then crush the lot of them.
