Why can't I keep the HMG?

+
At the very first mission, the gang leader drops a HMG when you kill him. V equips it when he picks it up, even if I use the "pick" option rather than "equip". But when I change weapons, or go to inventory, the HMG is nowhere to be seen and it's back on the floor,
Could someone please explain whether this is working as intended, or a glitch of sorts? I noticed that the info panel of the HMG says 0.0 dps.
 
I have the same question.....wasted a good half hour trying to figure it out and ended up just blasting the walls for a bit.
 
It's just annoying that you can hold the Flathead. But a large gun gets dropped. Yes, fill up your inventory a lot. So you gotta scrap guns etc. But make it storable. This half junk logic. When V has the inventory of Link. Moreso even more dumb. When you have Strength at maxium. Can't hold a gun.
