Problems with one handed weapon automation tinker

[Number43]

I experimented with this a bit, and found that if you select a steamgun with it, unlike other weapons it doesn't drop the weapon when it ends, and you lose the gun. The same problem does not happen with slings, though in either case damage is only around 1/5 of using a melee weapon. Not sure if this low damage is related to the fact that my character had superpower, causing ranged weapons to report in their stat box 30% wil damage and 66% power.
