This strategy helps because that way, you already started with a really good, but hard to master weapon, and then you just die down into a bad but easy to master weapon. I suggest the ranks go- 3K, 3K scope, Splatterscope, Squiffers, Bamboozler. And add any other weapon I didn't mention in between the splatterscope and the squiffers. (I don't know the weapons off the top of my head XP)
