Hello,

thank you for the feedback. I was able to reproduce the issue for groundWeaponHolder but weapon that I drop (remove from the inventory) seem to cast the shadow alright.

Would you mind checking that out and confirm and update the Description. If you know about any other situation when this happens please include that in the Description and, if possible, Steps to Reproduce also.

Thank you
