Looting Opponents in Combat

[LinksBoxers]

Right, so I'm replaying Fallout 2, and I've just killed Darian in Vault 15. I then proceeded to the second floor, (on the elevator, of course), and I aim/shoot at the female guard on the left in the eyes. Having 4 AP left, I click her, (intending to click the ground near her, as to punch her) and to my pleasant surprise it brings up her inventory. There was no "take all" option, so I'm assuming it was the "steal" version, though I did not receive any experience points, I did remove every object from her inventory, even her gun, during combat, and as a bonus, she could not shoot me.
Has this, or anything similar, occurred for anyone else?

Yeah, I don't know the *exact* guidelines that govern it, or whether it's a bug, but from time to time you can loot "stunned"/disabled combatants just as if they were unconscious.
