Being shot should stop the punching movement

The stun between punching and being shot make absolutely no sense at all. If I get punched I get thrown back a few meters, my aim is thrown off and other things. How ever if I shoot someone who has NO armor they're still able to immediately throw another punch lurch forward a meter and land a punch?! While they are actively being shot? This makes no sense.
 
When an enemy is being shot the punch animation needs to be stopped in its tracks. If that means you drop poorly don't get a weapon and die, so be it. But punching someone to death on drop while actively being shot should not be happening. 

They will get 2 punches in before you can pick up the gun and ammo, load it and start shooting. They land the third punch while you are shooting them and you get knocked. It makes no sense at all..

    @DarthValtrex Wait your complaining about dying cause 3 people punched you? I dont care what gun or who you are 3 people punching you you are going to die.

    No way we should lock the ability to punch on the drop. If I land somewhere that randomly doesnt have a gun I need the ability to figure back.

    Plus I like hitting people with my hammer 🤣

    @hayhor He's not saying lock punching but if you shoot someone while punching you they shouldn't be able to complete the punch.

    I honestly don't want to be that guy... But if you pick up a weapon, get punched 4 times and you do down, your opponent really deserved that win. Instead of instantly turning around towards him to shoot, you should build some distance first or use his movement against him. Plus, you can punch as well. And if you punch him once and knock him back, you can instantly start shooting.

    But making it so that your punch gets interrupted or disabled when you get shot at feels like an additional disadvantage that would make people frustrate from time to time. And it's not like it happens every match.
