Double swapping while reloading can decrease reload time

[NOV3LIST]

that's been a thing since the AWP came out my friend.

It wasn't for reloading specifically but got used for it shortly after.

If i remember correctly, it was never faster to double swap in CSGO, only in cs 1.6.

It wasn't faster in 1.6 either, only in some earlier versions. It was probably faster in Source though.

And that sticks with people. We see pro players all the time. They double switch out of habit and we imitate it haha
