I'm not Douglas Cole, and I defer to him about what the heck TG says. But under "Don't Shoot Yourself", it specifically says "If you are grappling a foe's weapon, you can attack him with it!"

Sadly, it doesn't say how much damage is done when you make the foe hit himself with his own weapon. For a force sword or firearm, it's easy. For muscle powered melee weapons, I'd say normal damage at -1 or -2 per die.
