Prone Firing Bug

[HanD_of_DarKNesS]

I've been noticing a wierd bug occasionally online, lately.

If I go prone with the AKMSU (using the drum mag), I am sometimes unable to fire. Pressing the trigger key does nothing at all, and I usually end up dead thank to this.

I have also noticed this same problem once or twice with the benelli M3.

This may be a bug in the code which prevents a player from firing if they are moving for whatever reason (movement keys, getting shot, falling, etc).

I had made a suggestion a while ago that the priorities might be reversed: depressing the fire key overrides the use of the movement keys.

I've had several cases where the timing between releasing a movement key and depressing the fire key was close enough that movement wasn't fully stopped before the fire key was actually depressed. The result: the fire key is fully depressed, the movement keys are fully released, but absolutely nothing happens.

Ok. Good. So it wasn't all in my head. It's happened to others as well.

One time I was crawling on Kosovo. A guy walks up to me and doesn't see me. I stop moving and fire my SIG. Nothing! I hold the fire key down for 1 sec, release it and press again. Nothing. I switch to my other gun and then back to my SIG. Still Nothing. I go for my knife deciding that at least I might as well go down in a blaze of glory. Dead. Oh well. The guy first missed my with a M203, then totally missed me emptying his M16. He got one hit on me from his DE and finally killed me with a hand grenade.
