I've gotten this sometimes. I don't know if it's conflicting button lag or something and I can't remember many specific situations where it's happened, but two I can remember are:

1. When I was using a PPSh, after sprinting I pull up iron sights and I may have even already been starting to press LMB just before the sights were fully up, but the gun wouldn't fire until I started furiously tapping the mouse.

2. I was in cover using a DP28, I right clicked to set up the MG and I wanted to immediately fire at someone, but it wouldn't. Didn't fire until I started clicking the mouse button a lot.

as far as I know the bug is connected to being suppressed. But I have not been able to reproduce it every time.

So please find how you can get the issue every single time. (again suppression seems to be the key for this one).

I've never been suppressed and not able to shoot, at least not at the same time, or around the same time.

Is this the same as the interrupted-reload bug? This affects (that I've tested) PPSH, SVT, MP40 and DP28 at least. Start reloading, then change your movement status or iron-sight status (e.g. if you were moving, stop; if you were stationary, move) during the anim. Pretty much at any time up until the anim reaches the 'ACTION' stage (e.g. cocking the weapon), if you interrupt the reload you'll get an unfireable weapon. You have to reload (again) to fix the problem. Damn annoying... easily fixed by the game remembering that you've fitted a fresh mag, and going to ACTION by simply cocking the weapon as soon as you can.
