Looting corpses

[kemper (DayZ) 0]

Hello everyone im pretty new to Day Z and just had a question about looting. Ive killed two players so far and I was unable to loot both of them, One of them I could see the players body & m4 weapon but I couldn't pick anything up from him I was tabbing everywhere within like 15 feet for like 5 minutes there was nothing at all. 

 

I posted this in the day z mod forum by mistake at first

You have to be close to them, crouch over their heads or legs aiming around their body, and use the f key or middle mouse button when you see a little gun icon, it seems to be a small area for it to register

Ok Ill try that thanks, so tab doesnt work when looting players?
