What happens when the bug occurs? In my case, when ran out of ammo in my magazine (with plenty to reload with), I used my Ultimate as Bloodhound and everything proceeded normally. However, I was stuck sprinting and on hip aiming without a running animation with my Peacekeeper. I could not aim down sights, reload, or shoot. I could run around, slide, and swap weapons. My secondary (G7 Scout) worked perfectly fine, but my Peacekeeper was entirely useless (until I died).
What should be happening instead? I should be able to reload and shoot normally after using my Ultimate with 0 ammo in my Peacekeeper magazine.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Repeat everything I described. Shoot until your magazine is empty on your Peacekeeper, then immediately use your Ultimate ability. That should replicate it. I'm not sure if it works on other weapons or if there's a fix because I immediately came here to report the bug.

Untested, assumed correlations.

UPDATE: Found a true source of the bug. Using any full animation upon starting a forced/empty reload will cause this bug. I have not tried it with other guns yet, but it happened to me again with a peacekeeper after reviving an ally on an empty mag and another time upon using my ultimate ability. I think this works with all legends because it should solely be based on animation cancelling.

Forgot to mention the solution: drop and pick up the gun. It should then be fully loaded.
