I'm pretty sure you are on the right track regarding talismans working or not. But it's impossible to know with this Eddie.
It depends on which of his "attacks" you're using to measure. Unfortunately both War Torn and Bullet Trace deal random damage, making it hard to get a consistent number. Barrage (and Acrid Smoke, not that anyone uses it) deal a single type, and should be a lot more consistent. Still, if you would rather test with a specialist like the Soulless Demons, there's nothing wrong with that.
