Can't change weapons on the move

Description

The user is unable to change weapons on the move. (while walking, running, crouch walking, etc...)

Example: Attempted to switch weapons between the Katiba GL 6.5mm to the Rook-40 9mm and the player had to stop, put away the Katiba and pull out the Rook-40. The same occured with the regular (non-GL) Katiba and also when switching to the RPG 42. Appears to occur with all weapons.

Now in some cases, this would be logical. In the case of the anti-armour weapons, it would be difficult for a soldier to switch on the move. However, switching between the a rifle/carbine and a handgun while walking or even running is possible without needing to stop. The user should be able to switch small arms such as, between rifles and handguns or machine guns and handguns on the move.
