Problem is - the game doesn't let you switch guns until your current weapon is finished reloading (which is initiated automatically when your clip is empty). This is making handguns pretty pointless since my powerful rifle will already be reloaded before I am able to switch to my hand gun anyway.
I'm thinking 2 ways this could be implemented successfully:
1. When you press the key bind associated with your handgun (keys 1-9) it forces the current weapon to switch over regardless if you're reloading or whatever.
2. This may be easier to do. Remove the automatic reloads so we have to hit R to reload manually. This way we have the option to reload or just switch to our pistol.
What do you guys think?
