Description

My friend had died so I tried carrying his gun for him, I had my SKS on my back and his M4 in my hands and carried it back to where he respawned. This has become the norm whenever one of us dies and we want to save the other persons weapons.

One time something came up and my friend had to log out while carrying my gun with his gun on his back, he logged in front of me and the gun in his hands dropped on the ground, I picked it up and when he logged in he still had the gun in his hands AND the gun on his back. We have tried it a few times and it always seems to work.

Steps To Reproduce

Have a gun on your back, for example SKS.

Pick up another gun such as a Mosin in your hands by looking at it and pushing F (by default).

Log out (optionally standing next to another person watching so they can see the procedure if you are one of the devs)

Log back into the same server. After the wait the Mosin will be on the ground, but it will also still be in your inventory, including whatever ammo was loaded.

Additional Information

It does not matter if someone picks the gun up that you drop while logging out, you will still have the one in your inventory. We have done this 5 different times to be sure it was reproducible for the purposes of reporting it. The first time it happened we didn't think much of it and thought that the weapon in your hand just dropped, then down the road a ways my friend realized he still had the same gun in his inventory that I had just also picked up from the ground.

Edit: I'm not even sure if carrying 2 weapons like that at once is even intended. When you carry 2 weapons in that manner, every time you eat/drink/do anything that requires your hands the gun drops to the ground anyway (no dupe tho) and you have to pick it back up. If that is something not intended I guess we will have to stop carrying them like that when one of us dies, although it is useful for getting them geared back up a bit faster.
