0000155: Constant switch weapon animation for other players reloading LAW
Often when other players are reloading their LAW, they constantly play the switch weapon animation, but it just keeps cancelling and starting over and over.

I see this a lot, but I don't know if it always happens, or just most of the time. Also, It might only occur when the enemy switches to a non-loaded LAW, but I'm not sure.

This can be an issue in R/S, as the switch weapon sound is fairly loud and it makes it easy for an enemy to pinpoint your location, when you think you're not making any sound.

Could you make a demo of this?

One demo from the player who switches the LAW and one from the player who sees it.
That would help me to understand what is going on.

(both demos recorded with 1.6.4rc2).
As you see in the recordings, the performing player shoots his law, switches to his secondary weapon then and back to the reloading law. From then on he doesn't hit his switch-weapon key anymore, but to other players he appears to be constantly switching from law to law. This bug also appears on the demo of the performing player, because the bug is present in the recording itself as well. In-Game, the player didn't see any weapon switching except for the initial switch.

-Added gifs for Watching and Performing so you don't have to download 1.6.4rc2
I don't know if we should try to reproduce in 1.6.6 or not?

Me and TheOne tried this in 1.6.6 It looks like some improvement, but not perfect.
Basicly, when one of us switched weapon one time, the other would see 3 switches. (doesn't matter what gun I think) When I later watched myself in the demo I saw 3 switches.

Also in singleplayer
How to reproduce:
-Start singleplayer
-Start demo
-Switch weapon 1 time
-Watch demo
You will see the switching animation more than once.
