This one is pretty simple to explain, despite being weirdly executed in the game.

First and foremost, NP rank in Parameters is usually the optimal performance of his NPs as a whole, which usually means the strongest it can be, but it's not usually the case (see Yan Qing's)

Switch-On Airgetlam in itself is an arm that can cut like a sword, making it as powerful as any single-target sword attacks without further boost or dedicated "deadly" properties (which would rank it up to B or higher, like Gae Bolg).

Dead-End Airgetlam, the truest form of the weapon, is supposed to be an Anti-Army attack similar to Artoria's Excalibur, automatically ranking it A because of its sheer destructive power.

What the game did however, is weird : the NP is Switch-On Airgetlam, but the actual attack he uses is Dead-End Airgetlam, which should rank it up and make it an Anti-Army attack, if we go by his bio.

---My theory is that, during Camelot, he couldn't use the full power of this weapon because it would mean destroying himself (his body wouldn't be able to take the recoil). After that, I don't know if it burns him still, but the lines are the same "Rush forward and eat up my soul, silver meteor", so it is safe to assume it does. Him uttering Dead-End instead of Switch-On means he is charging up the arm as much as he can without breaking his limits. The Overcharge effect of the NP is pretty much this after all^^.
