This bug is kinda weird and insignificant but it gets annoying sometimes.
Try this now: Go play against a bot or two with every single weapon unchecked except knife. Let the bot kill you, and when you respawn, you have a socom! All the time when I am playing a knifematch against bots one of them will randomly pull out my socom I dropped in the beginning or if the picked it up after I died.

I don't think anyone here can fix this, or has any idea why it happens, so I'm just letting Michal know.

Yup, known issue, but there's no fix :)

I have a feeling it's fixed in 1.2, but I haven't checked yet
