It doesn't make sense in this suggestion because the time for the Soldaten to put back a weapon and the time to draw out the other weapon is the same.
I wouldn't want to throw away my main weapon just to switch to my secondary, especially if it is not the USSOCOM - The Knife, miss = dead, Saw = Melee, LAW = I need to land.
What if the current weapon I was holding is a Knife? Then it would make me throw in a certain direction and switch to my main really quickly.
Don't forget there are grenades (which takes a while to throw, but definitely faster than just switching)

Now... how do I change my vote from F11 to F12...?
Switching between weapons with current speed is bearable and it's not that slow. (it's less than a second btw. Half a second, if not less)
So you're saying that there's a different button (not F or Q) that is an instant drop and draw? Seems ok... but just want to clarify that first
lol? But how does that make you change weapon faster? that way you're using one hand
Pressing 2 buttons at the same time... just doesn't fit into soldat's fast pace.

no, I mean your gostek has to drop and draw at the same time, so then he would be using one hand for each task. And because dropping a weapon is instantaneous, unlike drawing, there's no point in this since he would be wasting time 'dropping' it.
dropping is not a task, it's simply letting go of the hand grip.

He would drop weapon with both hands and then use both hands to take another one from back.
maybe this move should be executed when player presses "drop weapon" and "change weapon" simultaneously?
Well, if a "switch time" setting is added to weapons.ini, the switch time can be set very low for fists. This way if you have no weapon at the moment - switching to other weapon (if any) will be faster. This way you can drop-and-switch without messing up the controls and adding extra keys.
