Charon NPC Weapon Help

[pitttbulll]

Hello.
I was wondering if there is anyway to get Charon to use any other firearm other than his default combat shotgun?
I tried giving him the chinese assault rifle but he doesn't seem to want to equip it.
He upgrades any armor I give him, so that's not a problem.
I just thought there would be some tactical instances when another small gun would be more efficient.
If anyone has had any luck with this, please let me know.
Thanks.

He needs ammo to shoot with it. Only his default weapon doesn't need ammo.

Any other weapon you want him to use needs the bullets.

He's also picky to the weapon types...

If the condition of the weapon you give him is low he also won't use it.
