I took quite a long time to do it (avatar created a little over 6.5 years ago) but Oni finally unlocked Commando last weekend. 
All natural. After the first few months of making all sorts of mistakes, I focussed on amped Opalo for a few years until the amp nerf. At that point options for skilling laser sniper were limited, so I switched to H400. Eventually I bought an UL Adj LR32 and later an UL LR53 and skilled most of the way with those. I decided to sell the UL gun recently in favour of CLDs. Since then I've been using mainly LR48/53/59/Jungle303, with Corrosive ME as my finisher and First Gen Electric V as my tagger.
I kept a log of spend, return and pro-level gains on each hunt from L69 to L70. Hunts were about 1000 PED per run, the worst run returned 62% TT. Total TT return was 97%. Including hunting MU in and out, I recorded a loss of 150 PED, although including CLD revenue, skill-gain and other MU profits, Oni's net worth certainly rose during the 7 weeks it took (~40k PED cycled). No loot complaints from me
When I started the log I was convinced I got better skill gains from using Arkadia guns than from Calypso guns, so I tracked pro-level gains per spend to see if there was anything in it. It quickly became apparent there wasn't. I tried a spell with Hunnirs and Jzar to see if they significantly increased gains. They did a bit, but it was pretty small. None of this was done with great rigour, but the standout result for me was the variation in skill-gains from mob to mob. Of the mobs I hunted a decent amount, Eviscerators were the best for pro-level gain (3.2% per kPED). Small Argos were next best (2.8% per kPED). Atrox and Formi/Scips were both significantly worse (around 2.1% per kPED). Certainly worthy of further investigation.
