I thought the same thing. But the problem is that he's still not super good at reading his opponents in real-time combat. He can make a strategy, but it will be hard for him. However, his trion is already weak enough to not penetrate shields. So the mobility of Viper could give him a little boost in power by giving him a better pressuring option. It would be cool to see him fire Viper as if it were Asteroid, and the spectators would say, "His weak trion won't do anything to Shield." And then his bullets bend around the Shield.

Also he wanted to learn composite bullets from Izumi. Cobra (Asteroid plus Viper) could make up for the lack of power. Despite his trion level presenting a problem, Cobra would make opponents more wary of Osamu.
