Had this issue on the NWAF fire station, so did a squaddie. Climbed up fine, went to climb down, was flung away from the ladder and died.

Happens to me, difficult to reliably reproduce, seems to happen at random. On the ground more often than in inventory.

Related, more prescient issue: you cannot chamber single rounds into the pistol without a magazine, whereas you can with an M4.

The other night at the airfield, I alternated between a wide FOV for running around and looting, then when I took up a sentry position with an ACOG'd M4, I switched to a narrow FOV so as to maximize the effect of my scope. This is clearly gaming the graphics settings, and shouldn't be allowable. When zoomed it, it should be equal for all players regardless of FOV setting, in order to balance the playing field. Also, how does it make sense that one player with no scope can see more than a player with a scope with a different FOV setting? The solution of changing the FOV during the zoom-in animation is PERFECT and would solve this in one fell swoop.
