Going to WAR With an Extra Shotgun

I was knocking about with the console and while there doesn't seem to be a command to directly give Peppino a shotgun, you can noclip yourself into the room where you'd normally get a shotgun during the Crumbling Tower of Pizza and you get to keep it when you enter a level.
You can do some daft shit with it like go into Pizzascare to shoot ghosts or Don't Make a Sound to mercilessly massacre all the Toppin Monsters, but WAR particularly caught my attention... because now you don't get the extra 40 seconds that you'd normally start with once you grab the shotgun at the beginning, so you have to go like the clappers to reach the first few terminals, and it leaves you with a spare shotgun for Lap 2. The music doesn't also start until picking up the weapon, so you really get to enjoy the raw and grueling atmosphere of war during the first lap.
Interestingly, killing the Pizzard in the room where you get the shotgun starts your combo and as soon as it ends, it counts that as a fuck up regarding your level performance, which is why the level denies me a P-rank.

Wish I could time travel back to when you made this vid bruv, miss when things didn't take a turn south with my discord.

A friend of mine theorized that maybe it only gave you an S rank, because you didn't start the stage normally (I.E. not getting War's regular gun until Lap 2), while I theorize it may be an ant-cheat measure on account of having the debug console activated... Would've it perhaps given you a P if you picked up the stage's gun on the first lap instead?

I figured it out: it has to do with killing the Pizzard in the room you get the shotgun from. If you go noclipping in the hub, the points you gain carry over to the level you enter, so killing an enemy starts your combo and when it ends, it counts that blunder towards your level performance. I tried the same thing again without harming the Pizzard and the level gave me a P-rank.
