Max weapon skill level

No it wouldn't have, because his info is too new. He is talking about things that went into affect when DLC 5 (Arktech revolution) was released. The guy he quoted is more accurate for back then, as the bugs only did a few hundred damage back then (not thousands as TLs didn't exist and the gun stats never changed based on EGO level. An EGO 3k gun had the exact same stats as an identical one at EGO 50) and was talking about a canker which does not spawn bugs while the target is alive. It is strictly based on (back then, not sure about now) crappy DOT.

The necromancer's post does seem fairly accurate for how the guns work now though. However I haven't used infectors much since the first year of the game, so I can not guarantee that it really is currently accurate.

You definitely have not used an infector lately and he also did not mention TL or the ego of the weapon so yeah this is useless information he provided to Necro.

Threat level also affects how fast you level weapon skill.
