Looking at this it could be much simpler but without seeing the content of the logs it's difficult to say for sure.

It looks like you just want the count of each of the matched patterns and add the relevant property as per the match. You can grossly simplify this using Group-Object

Get-Content .\testfile.txt | Where-Object { $_ -match 'weapon_(sks|rpk)' } |
    Group-Object |
        Select-Object Count, Name, @{name='Weapon';expression={$_.name -replace '.+_'}}


This will give the following output

Count Name         Weapon
----- ----           ------
   18 weapon_rpk   rpk
   11 weapon_sks   sks
