This Achievement is Gunsmith worth 25 gs.

Mass Effect 3 Gunsmith The Gunsmith achievement in Mass Effect 3 worth 38 pointsUpgrade any weapon to level 10.

For this achievement you need to level one of your weapons up to level 10. When first going through Mass Effect 3, whether you imported a character or not, you can only upgrade a weapon to level 5. To keep upgrading the weapon, you need to import your saved Mass Effect 3 character that has completed the game already. The game will then allow you to upgrade your weapons to level 10.

To upgrade a weapon head down to the Shuttle Bay and look for the Upgrade Terminal. You can also look for the Upgrade benches throughout the levels. Remember, in your first playthrough, you can only upgrade a weapon 5 times.

Thanks to Deception975, You can achieve this without ever playing Single Player. When playing in Coop, you can use the Credits you earn to purchase boxes. Yes they are random, but if you get the same weapon 10 times over, you will pop this achievement. In this method, you do not have to beat the Single Player campaign.

Here is how I did it, and this is for Single Player: Quickest method???
(For some reason I could not level up the M3 Predator past level 7)

During your first playthrough level up the M-8 Avenger to level 5.

Obviously you have to beat the game, import your ME3 character, go through the beginning (You will acquire the M-8 Avenger during the Prologue), after about 30 minutes of game-play, you will be back on the Normandy, go to the Armory, and finish leveling up the M-8 Avenger to 10.

Note: When importing your ME3 character, you will have all the funds available that you had when you beat the game.

There is another way if you don't feel like going out of your way in the Single Player Campaign. Just keep playing the multiplayer, fun as it is, it shouldn't be too hard. And if you keep buying the 5000 point Recruit Pack you will usually get one of the beginner weapons. Just keep buying these while enjoying the multiplayer. This may not be the quickest way, but it is always fun to do it amongst the multiplayer.

After completing the game In single player, play a 2nd playthrough with your ME3 character.

Play for 30-45 minutes until you are back at the citadel.

Go to your spectre terminal in the citadel embassies and buy one of the 250,000 credits weapons. e.g. Black Widow.

Go back to the Normandy and go to the shuttle bay weapon bench where you can upgrade this weapon to level 10 (about another 100,000 credits in total).

If you do not have enough credits, you will need to play another mission until you re-find one of the guns you already own, as you will only be able to upgrade them to level 7. I couldn't be bothered to keep playing and had enough credits. Remember you don't have to save after spending the credits!
