Allready memtioned in other threads.
I stick to my opinion, that I hope this is not a bug but intended.
IMHO the GG is a meelee-weapon in the ranged slot and by this mechanic it kompensates for ist ranged lack…

As someone who uses the Grenadier Gauntlets a lot, I would hope that this doesn’t get removed and is intended behavior.

The toughness regen and bleed that you can get with it compensates for the horrible damage vs. multiple targets on the light chain.

If this does get changed, I would request a damage buff when attacking multiple enemies with the light/heavy chain (Right now the second enemy onward takes only 10 damage from attacks, yikes)

I love my fist build!
