You can "loan" items from your stash to your hired companion runners as long as they fit into their available slots and the characters meet all requirements to use them.
The loaned equipment should be given back after the run, if it hasn't been used up.
The attached saved games show that this isn't (always) true.
Load the first game . This is the automatic save right after the previous run, coming back from "Sappy Sapling". Now open your PDA -> Asset Management -> Pockets. Notice that the "Ares Viper Slivergun" and the spells "Heal Wound" and "Acid Stream 2" are not in your stash.
Open the other saved game or rewind the currently loaded game to the previous step "Sappy Sapling". You will automatically enter the equipment screen, and the 3 items will be in the stash.
Those 3 items are not "consumable", so should be preserved. After the run, however, they were not given back, and the runners also didn't have them when I re-hired them immediately.
During this particular run two charachters died, so I wouldn't have been surprised to lose the gun along with its dead user, but the Shaman survived and should still have the spells or have given them back.
