Blaster Reloading Bug

[KillerWhale]

Here's an easily reproducible glitch for you: reload and then switch to blaster while reloading.

You can't use the blaster for the entirety of the reload time, but the gun isn't reloaded when you take it back out.
If you have exceptionally bad timing, you'll have the reload time for the rifle, then the blaster will come up and go directly back down to the reloading "animation".

Is this in any way intentional?

Noticed it earlier as well. I think that's intentional. Or maybe a side effect of fixing the luci-blaster-switching trick when you can hold a luci's charge by switching to blaster when it's being charged. Though it does not actually reload.
Unsure.

I doubt it's intentional as such behavior doesn't make much sense. When you switch to blaster while reloading you should be able to use it right away, but the weapon should have to be reloaded again.

It's been a bug since 1.1, so I think it's just something that hasn't been fixed.

It really makes the blaster useless to not be able to switch to your sidearm when you run out of ammo.
