Steps To Reproduce

GEAR: MP-133 with pistol grip in hands, long rifle (Winchester) on back, Shock Baton on melee slot. Can't remember the type of backpack, it was blue/white and had 20 slots. It was full of stuff.

Crouch down (did not test it upright), tab the gear open, DO NOT set shotgun into vicinity manually, just keep it as is in hands. Select can of Pipsi from backpack, click on DRINK. Shotgun disappears from hands, replaced by seemingly unopened can of Pipsi. At the same time you see and hear animation and sound of drinking. After sound and animation stops, you still have "unopened can" of Pipsi in your hands. You cannot remove it, you cannot drop it into vicinity. You also cannot see your shotgun anywhere nearby nor in your hands.

Additional Information

Solution:
Relogging into the same server fixed it. Consumed can was now gone, "previously lost" MP-133 with handgrip was back in my hands.
I repeated it twice. Both times same issue.

Testing:
I had nothing else but various "use once" Pipsi cans to try with, I wanted but could not find at the time water bottle which I could have tested with incremental "DRINK" and "DRINK ALL".

I tried instead consuming Rice (EAT, not EAT ALL). Since I had less food to play with, I could not allow myself to test "EAT ALL" option to see if it differed. But with incremental "EAT" shotgun was put properly to the ground each time and visibly returned into hands after consumption of Rice was finished.

Did not test with different weapons.

Can confirm! I tried EAT ALL for 'Canned Tuna' and 'Powdered Milk' while carrying an axe in hand (no melee weapon on back, however).
Both times the axe disappeared and the already consumed can/packaging remained in the characters hands.
"Remove from hand" didn't work, dragging it to "vicinity" didn't work.
The only way to get rid off the consumed item in the character's hands was to hotkey another item and access it via the hotkey.
The axe returned only after relogging (not sure if to same server, though).

I can now add that it appears intermittent. You go into server, it may work once as it should or even few times.Do it more from and then at one point gun disappears and food/drink in hand appears stuck.

Have had it by now happening with RICE and PET bottle as well..

EDIT: It happened in 0.60 Experimental UK server no 25
