"Blizzard Bug," was the official answer. However, if I had to guess it was "knife." Bob's knife was broken, and was either missing or not responsive (button did nothing). Shiva, as you can guess, is not REALLY a weapon, but rather a one time skill (that occupies the weapon slot on the character). So, "somehow" when attempting to fix the knife, the Shiva "skill" was placed there instead. Bob ended up with a still-broken knife, but started with a glitchy shiva instead. Because it forced an override on the weapon slot, it took up your weapon space, but when you fired it, the triggers to properly set your weapon slot to normal didn't function or simply werent present. This all being because of Bob's Shivas broken nature as a "skill."

So the short version is it was a broken skill, which was really a bad attempt to fix a different skill, which in term gave you a 40k damage nuke for an arm, and glitched your ability to use guns.
