This happens in the worst moments - when I'm fighting skulks jumping around me trying bite my legs off but I cannot shoot and reload, all I can do is swap to pistol or axe and then back to rifle - then it works again.
Happens to me sometimes also.
I think I read about this on some other post but i can't find it now.
And like you sayed changing weapons seems to solve the issue.

We've been trying to squash this one for months and have been able to eliminate some of the major times it occurs. If you could either 1) get consistent repro steps or 2) a video of it in action (or both), that would help.
Steps to reproduce this "feature":
1) Go to CC
2) Now login to CC and wait.
3) In last second of closing up CC use your rifle butt
4) logout from CC.
Now you can't shoot and reload. May be it's not a true way to reproduce a random rifle jam, but it's may help to debug.
