The Procyons are noteworthy because they're one of only two Weapons (the other being Lightning's Lionheart) that can synthesize Random: Instant Chain, but do not have the drawback of the Stagger Lock Passive Ability. Of course, you won't actually be able to get Random: Instant Chain for some time after you find these guns, but Stagger Maintenance is a nice ability itself. Stat-wise, the Procyons have the highest Strength bonus of Sazh's Weapons through Chapter 6, but at the cost of a very low Magic rating.

Name
The party member that can use this weapon
Character
The passive ability granted by this weapon; purchaseable weapons with a passive ability will grant a superior version of that same ability once upgraded; not all passive abilities are helpful; if you hover over the ability name, the tooltip text will describe the ability's effect
Ability
This indicates the range of strength granted by this weapon; for non-purchaseable weapons, the low end of this range is based on the level the weapon will be created at; if you hover over the bonus range, the tooltip text will give you the exact per-level formula for the strength score
Strength
This indicates the range of magic granted by this weapon; for non-purchaseable weapons, the low end of this range is based on the level the weapon will be created at; if you hover over the bonus range, the tooltip text will give you the exact per-level formula for the magic score
Magic
Some weapons may contribute towards a synthesized ability; you will also need to equip at least one accessory with the same synthesized ability to gain its effects; details of the trigger requirements and effects of the synthesized ability can be found on its information page
Synthesizes
The cost to purchase this weapon from a retail network, if it is available for sale
Price
The amount of gil you would receive for selling the weapon to a retail shop at its minimum level; value increases as the weapon gains levels; if you hover over the value, the tooltip text will give you the exact per-level formula for the value
Value
Each weapon has an associated rank, which determines how much experience the weapon gains from components of any given rank; a higher-rank weapon typically requires more or higher-quality components to upgrade
Rank
The per-level cost to upgrade this weapon; this cost increases at each level past the first, as indicated by the formula
Upgrade Cost
A mastered weapon will be dismantled into these items; note that dismantling a weapon at a lower level will result in a considerably limited subset of this list
Dismantled To
The number of times this weapon can be upgraded; the weapon actually has one more level than the number listed, the master level, which is indicated by a ✩; note that for non-purchaseable weapons, some lower levels cannot actually be reached, since the weapon is created at a higher level
Levels
The total amount of experience required to take this weapon from zero experience at level 1 to level ✩; the full value is listed even for non-purchasable because the amount of experience accumulated on a master weapon is carried over when it is upgraded; for a breakdown of exactly how much experience is required to master a weapon from any given level, view its information page
