I have only tried this on Axis, but it is 100% reproducible. It may be possible for a Russian to do if he spawns with a German rifle.

High level players may elect to spawn with an enemy's weapon. For example, a high level Axis elite rifleman can spawn with an SVT-40 if he chooses.

This bug occurs when you have spawned with an enemy weapon, and you are sprinting, and then you quickly stop sprinting and right-click to use your iron sights.

The weapon will come up awkwardly and settle at varying degrees after sprinting, of which none of them are centered iron sights. This makes it practically impossible to stop running and engage correctly.

Screenshots below:

As an Axis rifleman with a Russian Mosin. Note that I am not moving, and the gun is stuck in this position until I right-click again to lower it.
Spoiler!


Axis with Russian SVT-40; same issue. Iron sights do not fully deploy after sprinting.
Spoiler!


Axis with SVT-40 again. Note that you can walk around and fire the weapon at these levels.
Spoiler!


Another Axis with SVT-40.
Spoiler!


Please also note that this bug is totally absent if you are a Russian using Russian weapons, or a German using German weapons. It is, however, 100% reproducible, if you are a German who spawns with a Russian rifle.

I encountered this very bug today as well. I was playing Firefight(on accident) and I chose the SVT-40 as Axis. It only happens when sprinting, when walking or standing it seems fine.

I did some testing and discovered that this only occurs as a German spawning with Russian weapons (SVT/Mosin)

I spawned on Russian as an elite rifleman with a G41 and did not notice this bug, nor with a Russian rifleman with a K98k.
