i realised that when you went with the sword, but despite that what i said holds even better: cocoon works very well in ANY instance. they provide a stream-lined DPS even when fighting ads, as time spent reloading is time ads deal damage or are otherwise alive. BS doesnt do well against ads. swords and g-thong do, to a point, and that point is ammo, where-as cocoon weapons encompass ALL weapon categories, again granting them much wider versatility than BS, swords, or gjonkerham. i know that cocoon is rarely used and that is exactly my point: it is under used and under appreciated for the boon that it is. if other guns could have cocoon, then it'd EASILY be a top-tier perk (for PVE. it has niche uses in PVP but thats not my focus).
