Gun sprite bug

[ZDashe]

Bug Description: You can change the icon sprite for a M41A rifle or SMG into a different looking sprite due to lag. This might be possible with other guns as well, but are untested.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Hold a M41A Mk2 Rifle in one hand, and any compatible magazine in the other hand.
2. Attempt to insert magazine into the unloaded M41A Rifle.
3. Restock said magazine into vendor before 2. is completed, due to lag?
4. Attempt to eject the loaded (???) rifle, and see that "You cock the M41A pulse rifle MK2, clearing a armor-piercing rifle bullet from its chamber."
5. Repeat step 2. on the unloaded (???) M41A Rifle and insert another fresh mag.
6. Watch as the M41A Rifle morphs into something else...

I saw a revolver with red dot supresor and a nade launcher

That revolver sprite is used when a gun has an unknown sprite path.

You're doing some weird stuff that somehow ends up in the icon_state ending up where it should not be

ive encountered this before too- had some attachments on it, and changed the firing rate by right clicking. Later, while in combat, I think between loading cycles the sprite changed.

If someone can provide a reliable way to duplicate this, I would appreciate it.

Well I can consistently duplicate this if you catch me online. I can show you how to do it as long as i'm lagging =P

I know one way, I think..

1: Get an empty Pulse rifle, be sure there is no round loaded in.

2: Find a magazine with only 1 bullet in it

3: insert the magazine into the empty rifle

When I did this, it caused the rifle to turn into a really wonky revolver with floating attachments. I believe it has to be a bug due to the fact that a mag with one bullet is loaded into the rifle, which causes it to get confused because it isn't sure which sprite to load due to the magazine being emptied the second it gets cocked in.

I'm not sure if it'll do it again, but that is how I did it once, and I bet it would do it again.
