Remove weapon loadin animation when weapon is used for the first time

Question

This animation makes no sense, cause it's done only when weapon is selected for the first time. I sometimes try to switch weapon mid fight and instead of shooting I need to see this annoying animation first and you may guess the end of many of such fights...
Please consider removing it.

@MoNosDirtyGaming Whats even more annoying is you get the gun but melee knocks you all over the room and you lose anyway. Apex Melee is the worst implementation of any game I have played.

@MoNosDirtyGamingDoesn't change anything. Due to poor servers I often have situation when I'm pretty sure I took the weapon, but it fact the other player has it. This animation doesn't change anything in this case for me - one still doesn't have enough time to react.

Another option - keep the animation only for first weapon, skip it when switching weapons.

@zibo86 This is frustrating as hell, but what would be even worse would be 2 players fighting for the same gun on landing, you thinking you have it, but the other player has it and instantly kills you before you can react, this is why this particular animation has been added in.

@Acumental I have to disagree; I like the melee, when it registers lol.

@zibo86 Its not reloading, its weapon unlocking, and ofc you need that since you dont want to random hemlok shoot you in feet when you walk over it!
