Boone and His Gun

[Nikoagonistes]

I've currently got Boone as my companion, but when I try to give him a new rifle, there's a brief flicker where the rifle should be, but then it's back to his Scoped Hunting Rifle. I even bought an Anti-Material Rifle, but he still won't equip it. When there's combat, he just goes to that wooden thing, even though he's got the AMR in his inventory. I've thought I might have taken his weapon and sold it once - in an effort to give him a better weapon - but the wiki says you can't take the gun from him under normal circumstances. Is there any way to get Boone to use another rifle?

You might have tried this already but, since you didn't mention it, you are giving him ammo as well right?
