What is it with the damn handguns?

[max_killer_payne]

I dunno whether anyone else gets this, but when a unit has a pistol in a mission, they always use the pistol instead of their rifle. And engage the enemy with it when using their rifle wud be so much more effective. Is there a script to stop this.

hmmm, ive never noticed that before...

but...

why dont you just remove the guys handgun?

[max_killer_payne]

I've done that yeah, but the thing is in the heat of battle, I cannot really order them to take ammo from corpses. They only do that on guard waypoint. I want them to have a backup weapon in case they run low on ammo.

They do that when they've engaged in CQC.

I suggest you make a small script that either makes them take ammo from corpses or add a handgun when they are out of ammo, so they don't get the handgun until absolutley necessary. Also, you could try to use the selectweapon in a loop until they run out of ammo, but I don't think that works.
