Default gun is pretty good actually. It will have much better cert/minute output than HE in skilled hands.

Just consider. If you sum up splash radius of all hits, it will be much better than HE, which means that you will get much more kill assists especially in high intensity battles around crow area. Plus, imo it has better ballistics and projectile velocity than HE. It's direct hit is still capable if killing any infantry class except for max and HA.
