How do I get Sulik to stop being a ♥♥♥♥♥?

[Electric Kills]

If I equip him with a P90 or a .223 pistol, he'll still very often of the time switch to his fists in combat and do no damage at all. What the hell?

Did you remember to tweak his Combat Tactics?

Set his Weapon Preference to "Ranged over Melee", equip him with pistol of your choice and stock him up on ammo. After that, make sure he's not carrying ANY Melee weapons.

Sulik isn't a ranged character, if you want the best out of him then give him a sledgehammer is let him do work.

Yes he is, if he has a "large handgun". The biggest problem is if he runs outta ammo or has no spear to stab with from a 2-hex distance.

Then you keep on using those guns...Suliks highest skill is melee weapons.

Guns is his weakest stat, Give him a super sledge and he will kill/ knock back everything.

Also if he just only has enough ap for a punch he'll do so.

Thanks, at least he will need a 14mm pistol or .223 pistol for that matter. Burst-fire guns are dangerous in the hands of companions when they think you can survive it.
