We could not reproduce this bug.

Please let us know if you are still able to reproduce this issue in latest
Development build. Thank you.

Yes, I have just tried this again with build 59.105814

On the scuba mission; when I enter the water, I can fire the rifle. If I choose to change weapon to pistol (using keyboard), nothing happens and I loose the ability to shoot the rifle. In addition, scroll menus now no longer work. When I exit the water, I immediately swap to pistol and can now fire. If I then enter the water with the pistol, it disappears from my view and I can not fire or swap back to rifle.

I can also reproduce this in the latest dev build.

  1. Place a BLUFOR diver in the water as player and launch preview.
  2. Press the "Switch gun / handgun" key. (";" by default)
  3. Weapon display in the top right goes empty, rifle becomes unusable.

However, pressing the "Next weapon" key brought back the normal rifle modes, enabling me to shoot again.
