Survivalist Catalog and a zero-stars rating in battle could earn you one of these weapons about every five attempts against those targets, but farming Platinum Ingots to buy them new is clearly a better option: the time it takes to even just reach the enemies that can drop those weapons is almost the time that, statistically speaking, would take you to get a Platinum Ingot.
