Invisible Guns and Players from Weapon Swap

This one's tricky to explain. So, with the new way weapon pickups work, it would seem a new and exciting bug has appeared. Sometimes, when you pick up an item of the same type you already have, your weapon will be invisible. It will also have the name of the weapon you just swapped out. In the case of melee weapons, it will always appear as a one-handed weapon. Guns will be "repaired" as soon as they're fired. When you switch into/out of throw mode, you'll flash invisible, as there's no animation for the black magic you've performed.
Also, at the end of the first clip, I don't know what happened with that katana. That may be worth looking into.

Discovered in Pre-Alpha v1.10.2b

I'm not sure how it happened, but I was playing on my server and I picked up a flamethrower and it was invisible for some reason. This is what is looks like in the middle of the equipping animation.Image
This is what it looks like when I'm just holding the flamethrower. As you can see, the flamethrower is invisible in both my weapon slot and my hands. I could un-equip and re-equip it and it was sill invisible. The flamethrower became visible again once I fired it. I'm not sure if the invisibility of the flamethrower was only client side or what.

This is similiar to topic by Zyfex. This is a strange one, since Gurt tells us that it is fixed, but this has happened to me too. It's true that after the fix it is more rare, but it's not gone. Can you tell what you were doing, like some block and pickup and aim combo? It would help the devs a lot to find the bug.

We have gathered some clues about this one. Even if a weapon is invisible for you it's not necessarily invisible for other players. It can happen for any ranged weapon. I don't recall melee/thrown weapons turning invisible.
This bug is a visual bug only so it's very low prioritized. Shooting turns the weapon visible again ;)

If it's only client side I can see why it's low priority. Thx guys!

Invisible Character while equipped with a broken bottle

So I was just playing a game with my original character, when I saw this glitch:

(My Character is "ILuvWafflez")
If you looked at the weapons slots, you can clearly see the throw icon. However, the broken bottle is not appearing in the weapons slot or in my character's hands. If I pressed G, or toggle the throw key, my character would disappear except for his legs. I couldn't capture it because it happens so fast.This happens quite a lot in my games as well.
