Shooty/staffy weapons glitch

I've been recently playing with shooty/staffy weapons (Absolutely loving these babies!) and I've noticed that their damage output is... Strange.

Whenever my character does a 2 strike animation, the damage dealt will almost be the full damage capable of the weapon followed by nothing.

EG: -313, -0 (Mega hit).

Am I right in assuming that in the example above the correct damage output should be;

-155, -158

I think that the damage calculation works as it should regardless, however from a cosmetic perspective it irks me to see my musketeer shoot twice and only hit the target once. Time and time again.

Right, I noticed it too.

There's also the same problem when you summon Orthus, his follow through does 0 sometimes too.

If you have Spirit Sight as one of your Talents (adds 1 to sight range) and the enemy moves within 4 spaces of you (most of your sight range is 3), it will trigger Readied Spell. If you have a combo weapon (ie staffy/shooty), you will get a 0 for damage for your gun since the enemy is out of range unless it is a special gun with a longer range (usually the range on a gun is 3). So check how much range you have on both your weapons.

This makes sense in theory, however I don't think that this is the case as I've had this glitch happen with an enemy standing 2 squares away from my musketeer with the Staff of Power, which should be the farthest away these weapon types can hit without needing class specific range boosts.
