I discovered this earlier today.

I had just defeated a quite OP sniper/laser squad of 9 raiders (i find them quite amusing :P) however i could only find one R-4 charge rifle.

I accidentally told 2 colonists to grab it and ended up with them both getting one :D

I experimented with it by dropping the charge rifle and told all colonist's to take it. BOOM! all my colonists have charge rifles.

give it a try, it has worked for me on 9 separate saves.

Im under no illusion that sooner or later this will be changed haha

Having abused this myself, it works with all weapons if you send colonists to pick up same weapon

On testing, it doesn't look like the people with the duplicate weapons can actually fire them. It treats it like they have one, but they can't shoot it and when you go to have them equip a different weapon they don't drop the duplicated gun.

True. They will not fire a duped gun. I, however, did have them drop the dupes. So perhaps I can still sell it.
Reticulating all the splines.

I discovered this last night with the Enfield. You can 'sell' it, and get money for it, but it won't leave your inventory, so bling bling!
