End of unconsciousness, stuck in animation loop

[galhast 6]

I was chilling in the bar in elektro with my buddy, upstairs, in the loot circle (opposite the store and the office building). We were upstairs, he was looking downstairs from behind the railing, and I was watching the office building windows in the room to the right. Suddenly some guy spawns upstairs, runs out of the hallway, obviously sees me and guns me down with his revolver.

He took me down to 3500 blood, and I was knocked unconscious for 10 sec. After bringing me down, he was shot by my compadre, and retreated to the hallway, out of LoS. As the unconscious timer ends, I still have 3000 blood, so I was feeling pretty lucky - he hadn't shot me since the initial few hits, so I could roll out to safety before I bleed out. As the timer disappeared, my character started trying to bring himself off the floor, but fell back down. Then got up, fell back down. Then got up, fell back down, and then proceeded to do it again. I could -not- control my character, he could not roll, or shoot, though I could look around. While this is happening, the guy comes back, shoots me in the head, before getting popped by my buddy.

Is this repeating 'getting up then failing' animation loop intentional? I can see a degree of realism in someone who was unconscious struggling to wake up completely and respond to the situation at hand, but as far as I can tell, when the unconscious effect ends, you should be able to regain control of your character, and not get stuck in place, flailing but unable to do anything.

I have a feeling that if those animations did not play, and indicate clearly to the other player that I was indeed still alive but unable to react, then I wouldn't have gotten those risky last shots from him, and I'd still be alive with my battle rifle and full kit of gear.

Where was I? Elektro.

Which server? NZ 2.

What was I doing? Attempting to take control of my character after the unconscious timer ends, but I ended up getting stuck in an animation loop which inevitably resulted in the death of my character.

Now normally I'd have just run back to my body, knowing my friend has the upstairs of the house under control. But the server went down moments after, and my body despawned. But that's not what this is about. Yes, I'm mad. But I'm not that mad. I'm used to losing my gear by now, I just wanna know, is this animation thing intentional or no?
