Hey, the next ones set in ancient egypt and they're putting it on break for a year, so there's still hope yet.

Yes, the puppets are able to act on the world like a "normal person" perse, but only to a certain degree. The puppets are not designed for combat at all. As I said before, a single glance at them with Gyo would destroy them, so while they are able to attack people, or knock them out as you said, they would only do so if they deemed it completely necessary. While their target is their top priority, they do have somewhat of a survival instinct to a degree. When the user takes complete control, I wouldn't say a vegetative state as much as a trance, meaning that if the user were to be knocked out for instance, they would lose control of the Assassin. Basically, their consciousness isn't leaving their body and entering the puppets, it's more like remote control. Break the remote(the users body in this case), and you lose control of the puppet.
