In ArmA 2 it was possible to retrieve the player's weapons, magazines and backpack on death (i.e. saving what gear the player had on death). However, in ArmA 3 this only works for the primary weapon, secondary weapon and handgun - all other items simply show as "<null>", making it impossible restore the player's inventory on respawn (for example).
I am still able to retrieve information on a player's inventory while they are still alive (no issues there), it is only once they die that the information is lost.
