I have two Strongarms, and having just retested them I got one dud out of twelve shots. While I've had some problems with the Strongarm before, like you have, it may come down more to how the dart is inserted than anything else. Next time you test the Strongarm, load it more carefully, and use good darts. That guarantees that if there are any problems, it is in fact with the gun, and not with any other variable.

But let's be serious here. Longstrike. Not necessarily end of discussion but it gets close...ish. Virtually no power behind it, completely zero with the barrel, and it's obsolete nowadays anyway. The Raider is a close second because it doesn't have the barrel problem, but it is still severely underpowered. Also, I dislike weapons which are significantly imbalanced. Thankfully there are a select few of them. The Nitron is another one - while the gun is in fact balanced, the projectiles are notorious for veering off to the right on every shot. Or how about the Stampede? The 6 D batteries you needed for it were in the back, so you had to hold the gun up to fire it. Even then, it was also underpowered.

I guess my point here is, thank you N-Strike Elite for taking us out of a big hole.
