Passive items
Twenty-two passives show up as level-up choices. Each one evolves one or two weapons. The table is the reverse lookup: pick the item you are holding and see which guns it finishes.

Levels are not all five
Sixteen of the passives cap at level 5. Da Lucky Stikk and Tactical Rock cap at 9, and those two also need level 9 before they evolve their weapons. Dice Cube and Figure Case cap at 2. Kragg Blackhammer's Master Rune caps at 1. Codex Astartes caps at 6 and must be level 6 to evolve the Power Fist.
White Dwarf feeds Storm Eagle Rocket and Rope and Grapnel. The Gauntlet feeds Lasgun and Poisoned Throwing Knives. Glue feeds Flamer and Mystical Ward. The full pairs are in the table, taken from the evolution list rather than guessed.
How often a passive appears in the level-up trio is not published. The obtain line on every row is the same on purpose: it is a level-up offer, not a permanent unlock, except where a character page says otherwise.
