Wow, you should change of source of information:
-SR max SL being 4 is only when you will fodder them. You won't lose anything at SL 8, but even higher is not a huge problem if you are using this weapon commonly.
-Pride is a very strong skill, and can easily compete with an assault one. You beat an SR assault weapon with less than 85% hp (easy to do) and an SSR assault at 70%. Even at 100% hp, you have a 10% increase instead of 13/16, so you still have a correct baseline.
