If you're shooting at someone, and they're shooting back, what do you do if you suddenly run dry?

Swap to handgun. If all else fails, so that means my nades that went in first, then my main gun and then my handgun I will switch to either knive of shockpaddles (As I mostly play medic). But in 90% of the cases I would have been dead or allready have killed the oppenent when I have reached the ''swap to handgun'' phase.

I like the accidental swap choice

Usually swap to pistol, sometimes to knife. Or sometimes just bunnyhop the crap out of me till main gun is reloaded.

Dpends, If I see the idiot is barely hitting me. Ill pull out my knife, otherwise Ill switch to my pistol/handgun.
And if Im AT Ill switch to SMG, because when I use that kit my AT Rocket is my primary

I voted handgun. But if they are in close proximity then it's the knife. I heart knives

Usually when I run out of ammo I end up dying.  I almost always accidentally switch to something unusable. In the case that I don't die immediately, I go to hand gun.  If I am close enough and my enemy is reloading, then there is a small chance I might pull out my knife.  I have a good success rate with the knife fights.

All of the above depending on the situation.

Knife if they're close, pistol for medium range.  I reload if they haven't seen me yet and I've got some cover nearby.

I use my pistol and hope for the best.
If you throw an ammo bag he might think you're being generous and drop his guard, then BAM! knife in the eye.

Reload, unless they are really close, or when there is no cover. then i would go to the pistol or knife.

If assault, infantry at >75m: grenade launcher.
If infantry at close range or with me in sights: pistol.
Everything else: reload.

Edit: If anti-tank, healthy tank with me in sights: bye. I'm out of there.

Depends on the kit, most of the time i switch to pistol. If im sniper ill run around a corner and drop a claymore. Then theres the times ill try n switch to pistol but accidently switch my main gun to single shot

It depends on the situation.

If there is more then 1 enemy in CQC I will swap to knife and start using the prone-crouch technique while stabbing at the enemy. That way I am more difficult to hit then trying to shoot with pistol.

If the enemy is mid range I will swap to pistol and finish them off then reload.

If there is more then 1 enemy around at mid range and I have little or no cover I might spam nades.

In short, your poll is fucked there is way to many variables it is impossible to answer.

Although it would make the game very unbalanced, it would be good if the USMC SpecOps and SEAL's carried a 12-gauge for a secondary like they do sometimes in real life, then you wouldn't have to worry as much when you primary runs out.

Use my wonderful hot key to quit the game immediately. LOL. Just kidding. I'd probably use the above tactics. Pistol does wonders. If you're kamikaze and using the spec ops just toss one, hop around to avoid a few shots then BOOMSHAKALA! Take someone down with you or a few of em if you're lucky.
