I'm trying to make a homebrew item right now that basically combines a spear and a pistol. I used the pistol as the base because I could not for the life of me make it work with the spear, but now a new problem has arrisen: the range is stuck at 50/150, and the attack type only lists ranged despite me adding a melee weapon attack modifier. How do I do this, or is it just not an option?

That's not possible with the current homebrew system.
You can achieve the desired effect by just adding two separate items to your inventory.
The "melee weapon attack" modifier is not for this purpose; it's intended to be used for non-weapon items that improve all melee weapon attacks.
