first "Speedys Embrace" is NOT an AG name, so basically nobody knows what you are talking about.
if it's a tailored name for an AG-defined weapon, you must indicate its Type/TypeID.
if it's a fully new weapon (potentially made by you) ... why are you asking us if we yet use it ?
next, the number of slots does not change anything on the weapon appearance (if some weapons show a blow it's due to the specific chosen model, not the number of slots).
finally, your 1st question wasn't clear regarding what is not drawn (could be the weapon or the toon, or the full game or anything up to the reader to try to guess ... )
if your toon is no longer drawn after a run it's because of a corruption of its spatial information - the point is that weapon does (also) contain coordinates to describe how they are handled by the toon (relative position to the hand, orientation and so on); in your case, a reasonable assertion is that the vertices data for the weapon (its 3DO file) is buggy enough to corrupt the full draw of the weapon and the toon handling it.
try to change the model with a working one, observe changes, then change the 3DO file, observe, finally fix the model or replace the 3DO as required.
