Guns firing bullets with black powder rust after 1 bullet fired

[CoroNaut]

Describe the bug

If you pack black powder into some bullets and fire them, the weapon that fires them will become rusted after 1 round. This is obviously due to it firing black powder, which leaves a lot of residue in the barrel that should probably be cleaned out. This is excessive that it completely rusts and starts jamming after one round though.

Steps to reproduce

1. Load save
2. Fire a single bullet at the wall
3. The gun is rusted despite just being pulled from a locker from a military base and presumably being in full condition.
4. Repair the weapon through mending and fire another bullet, instant rusting.

Expected behavior

3 solutions:

1. The gun should not rust after a single shot, perhaps 10 shots with black powder and then it rusts.
2. The mending system should allow me to clean out the barrel after firing 1 shot instead of it immediately rusting without any way for the player to prevent it.
3. Both options, extend the rusting countdown and allow the mending system to clean the barrel before it rusts

You need to use the mend action in the inventory, as it is a fault, not damaged.

Im not sure if it exists or i'm just looking in the wrong menus and blind. I even tried unloading the magazine from the rusted weapon in case that was causing issues, but nothing. To be clear, using the action "repair a gun" from the gunsmith repair kit just gives a message saying it can't improve the weapon anymore, like in the image in the original post. Pictures:

You are looking at the wrong menu, you need to select the weapon in the (i)nventory, then select (m)end weapon option

I see now that you can repair the weapon using mending like you said, thank you. I changed the title and issue to reflect the actual issue.

Idea: add mend to the menu in the screenshot too

Can confirm, I've had this happen to me in one of the experimentals.
