I opened another thread about this A while ago. It would be interesting to be able to toss ammo and other items to your squadmates, to drop your weapon with a single button press and simply to be able to exchange items between players without having to make space in their backpack each time. The main problems are in it's application: first of all would be difficulty in selecting what item to throw, would you have to end up pressing weapon switch a dozen times until you find the item you want to throw? Even using the scroll wheel to select would be a very inelegant solution.

Secondly, it seems like ARMA doesn't really support the physics of this sort of thing. It means either creating a tumbling animation for each throwable object or dealing with the thrown item fying in an arc while it stays straight and level. Thirdly, the only animation we have for throwing is grenades, bottles and cans. Will new animations have to be mocapped for throwing everything from car wheels, to rifles, to backpacks. It's a lot of new animations that will take a lot of work to make realistc looking.
