There is a very large collection of weapons, but there are only very few decent weapons (less than 10). Weapons like the predator, shuriken and viper are absolute trash. I don't know if anyone even uses the vindicator or incisor. At the highest difficulty setting, you're pretty much forced to use only the very best weapons at your disposal, I don't know if anyone seriously uses the predator on platinum for example. Many weapons are ineffective on anything higher than silver difficulty.
Back when Eric posted the gameplay stats 79% of games were played on silver and bronze so it's not really important that every gun is platinum viable. I was playing with a Vindicator weilder last night, on lowly silver. He's relatively new to the game so is still levelling up his uncommon weapons. It's often better to use a mid or high level uncommon weapon than to be restricted to a small selection of level 1 rares, especially if you're playing a kit that cares about cooldowns.
While I understand that many weapons are not great on higher difficulties, to write off all bar 10 or so as trash smacks of snootily considering the way you play the game to be the only valid way to play it.
