affinity gain?

Unless specified otherwise, all Affinity gained uses the same split: 25% of the amount goes to your Warframe and 75% of the amount is divided evenly among all equipped weapons (25% each for three, 37.5% each for two, or the full 75% if only one is equipped).

Read this in the wiki but somehow i still don't get it why solo play kills with a maxed weapon give zero affinity to non maxed weapons?

What you got from the Wiki is correct, but it only applies to the affinity gained from teammates. When you kill with a weapon, all the affinity goes to that exact weapon and your frame. When you kill with the frame, it goes to the frame only.

So there are only 2 ways to rank a weapon: either kill with that weapon or let teammates kill stuff with you around.

Kills you do yourself are 50% to the weapon and 50% to the frame. If you killed it with an ability or weapon made by an ability like Valkyr or Excal then 100% goes to the frame.

In a group when another player kills an enemy their affinity gain gets distributed evenly among your items. This is why it's best to take off a weapon or two if you're looking to level something specific. Of course always bring one good weapon so you're not a leech.

In solo play you don't get affinity for a weapon unless you use it. There are some exceptions like mission rewarded exp is distributed through all your items.
