Not only is there no sound but while moving like this your weapon isn't even lowered, it's the same animation as moving with your weapon raised.

It seems a lot of the pistol animations have yet to be fully implemented.

Devs, please see near duplicate report #9235

The player also incurs no fatigue while moving in this manner.

This already fixed.

Might be a good idea to open a bug citing, "AI always detects intrusions as enemy." Instead they should shout or inquire whether friend or foe prior to shooting.

This might also be considered a server side or map setting, as to whether to detect intrusions as always enemy, or if the AI should question first before shooting.

(Bug #12183 was closed and made reference to this bug.)

I'm bumping this thread.
As of this date, the problem still persist. When equipped with a lowered pistol and crouching, the movement speed is increased.

(At times it looks silly when you see a players' squad running with pistols and crouched.)
