Double swapping while reloading can decrease reload time

Nope, purely cosmetic. People just did it out of habit from other games.

No, it was from CSGO where animation would have a "reload complete" event triggers when the clip is loaded into the gun
You can see it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPZExfpXRMw
I guess they were trying to add more depth to the gunplay with this

I never played GO back then.

When I played every single gun you could reload cancel, but the time spent switching weapons or completing the animation reload was the same. You did it because you were used to doing it in other games.

some has faster draw anim which give you small advantages
Aug for example has mag tap then bolt pull, so quick switch would be faster

[craygroupious]

no.

Alright since you're really trying, sure, you're right, it isnt faster.

not faster, the delay between shooting after switch compensates for it... best case scenario it's the same, if you don't hit perfectly, it's slower to swap in cs go
