This funny little feature have been around at least since 0.87, maybe longer, but finally I experienced it my self.
If you pick up a kit of which previous owener was about to throw an incendiary grenade, your character will toss it at the very moment you grab the kit and before you even have pulled out the default weapon.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Switch to the incendiary grenades in your inventory.
- Try to throw it, but get shot before it leaves your hand. Left click or right click doesn't matter.
- It's unknown if the character, who dropped the kit, have to give up first or not.
- Let some other player pick up the kit.
- The incendiary grenade should fly out immediately according to throwing mode applied by the previous owner and start its normal operation.
Tested on:
Kashan AAS-64 Alternative, TacticalGamer PR 0.909. Happened to me with incendiary grenade and all reports I've heard about this are related to incendiaries.
Remarks/funny facts:
One of my long time squad members once told me how he was about to destroy a weapons cache with an incendiary, but got shot just before the nade left his hand. Soon after that the cache he was after got destroyed without any friendlies nearby and server's global chat indicated that some insurgent traitor had destroyed it with an incendiary grenade
