Having new and original ways for powerful artifacts is cool. There's so many artifact variations in the pool that I don't think that this showing up every 5 rounds would be something that's significantly broken enough to affect anything. You already have a chance to spawn bombs that can obliterate entire departments, or guns that have nigh-infinite ammo and recharge.
I think there should be more variance, not just duplicate an item, but perhaps alter it's qualities. Have a chance to make an exact replica, or have a chance to make something far worse, or something way different. Toss in a gun, you might get a better gun, or you might get some scrap metal in return. Basically just have it be a machine that has a random chance to improve, copy or ruin the item you give it.
Randomly powerful is good, consistently powerful is not.
