Have you actually "USED" the GEK-38 Assault Rifle?
*If the answer of this question is "NO", then you need to go to the market, buy a couple, and then use them in battle.
If you STILL don't have your answer. Then, you'll have some merit in posting this.
NOTE: The "Exile" assault Rifle does NOT have a faster RoF than regular Assault Rifles. They are the same in every way, minus the fact that one is a BPO.

well there are 3 different Strafing speeds to consider.
Normal - Hip Fire (fastest)
ADS - Aim down sight (Slows aiming significantly)
Crouch - Prone ( Slows movement even further while increasing accuracy)
The situation, upon which, you should use each type changes depending on positioning, range, and type of engagement.
As far as the GEK-38 is considered. You seem to be comparing the difference between an Assault Rifle w/ a Damge mod. and a GEK-38.
To understand the difference, you need to stop that.
Now, a basic Assautl Rifle has 31 HP Damage while a GEK-38 has 32.1 (this is based off of memory so if i'm wrong i apologize)
Now, at a base level. They do not look or function all that differently. Where it comes down to it, is the Damage Modifiers and the Weaponry Skill.
a Complex Damage Mod. ironically enough is obtained when you get Weaponry to Level 5. Weaponry Level 5 gives you 10% more Damage with ALL weapon types and should be obtained by everyone no matter what Suit you use. and a Complex Damage mod gives you an additional 10%
Now time for math
Assault Rifle
(31 X 10% = 3.1)
(31 + 3.1 = 34.1) (the same as the Standard Duvolle Assault Rifle)
that's right, you can get the same performance out of a Basic Assault rifle as a base Prototype one.
Now, that's damage per bullet. So say the rifle has a 500rpm RoF (example) . That translates to 17,050 Damage per Minute. 284.166 Damage Per second
(32.1 X 10% = 3.21)
(32.1 + 3.21 = 35.3)(1.3 more damage than the Duvolle per bullet. Which is actually a larger jump past a Duvolle, than going from a Duvolle to a GEK at base level.)
Now that's also damage per bullet. So again, assuming the rifle has a 500rpm RoF. That Traslates to 17,650 per Minute. Which is 600 More per minute than the Base AR and 294.166 Damage Per Second. Which means that it deals about 10 more HP damage per second than the Base Level AR.
This effect is boosted even further through the use of Light Weapon Sharpshooter, Adding More Damage Modifiers, Headshots and many other variables.
Remember though, DUST, and shooters in general, are games of seconds. and not all of your bullets will always hit their Target.
I advise you use a GEK-38 with a Complex Damage Modifier for 10 Ambush, and then 10 Basic Assault Rifles with the same Modifier, and see where it takes you. It may be that you've gotten too comfortable with the GEK-38 and forgotten what a Normal AR is like. If you still don't notice a difference, well then maybe it's just me. But I would say they are "Leagues" apart.
