I've been watching a stream where a guy was smoothly swapping from axe to m4 and from m4 to fists and so on while running. But it doesn't always work for me and I'm not sure why. It seems it has something to do with space action (raise weapon). So I was running away from a zombie tried to swap m4 to axe so i can kill it quietly and my character stopped, I got hit in the head fell on the ground and there was nothing left to do but respawn. I asked someone on the stream about it and they said "Its designed that way" but that just seems silly. Right? Thoughts? Tips?
