[not a BUG] Switching to RL and holding fire does nothing

[nwbeeman]

If you have a weapon selected, press any key to switch to another weapon, while holding down FIRE. It will fire as soon as its raised. However, if you switch to the rocket launcher, and hold the FIRE key, it dosn't fire. I would think its a bug, but it could be a "feature" that protects the player. But I think i saw this in a bug report, perhaps it creeped up in the upgrade to the latest doom source.

This is intended behavior.

Makes sense, does keep you from accidently killing yourself. Perhaps a CVAR?
