DAmn, for me it's only working as intended WHEN drafted. Life's rough out here, eh?

For me it's not working either. Pawns never switch weapons. If they start shooting, when the enemy get's close they just bash it with the gun, having a sword in the inventory. I even added the Sidearms - Switch Weapon mod to see if it would work with that, but no luck so far.
I also have issues with melee shields equipped.

I'Ve got some experience with shields. You see, most weapons are not allowed to be used with shields (indicated as such in the bills tab or item info), but for some reason at least the Ballistic Shield is excluded from that. With melee shields I had only trouble and they're not very good to beginw with. For B Shield, the only thing that matters is whether the weapon is one- or two-handed.
So depending on the mods you're running in addition to CE, you might be able to give them a small grenade launcher (M320 I think), sawed-off shotgun, or a charge-modified TEC-9.
The one-handed options that come with basic CE are generally kinda bad...

This is not compatible with CE. I've removed it from my modlist if others are using combat extended I recommend you do the same
