Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. On the ground.
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. I was healing witha shield battery. Someone started shooting at me. So I reacted by jumping, canceling the heal animation, and then started shooting, all while in air. I will attach a gyfcat link.

How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 10
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)

What happens when the bug occurs? I was downed but was still able to fire my weapon. https://gfycat.com/ElatedDefiniteAruanas 
What should be happening instead?  I should not be able to fire my gun.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? As I said before, I started the cast time on a shield battery. As I was in the cast, I started being shot at. I reacted by jumping, then canceling the heal animation, and then held down the fire button, all before landing on the ground. While I was in the air, I was also downed by the enemy. This lead to the gun being pulled out while I was downed. I don't have the environment to recreate this bug. https://gfycat.com/ElatedDefiniteAruanas

This is the gyfcat link that shows the bug happening. I believe it has something to do with how animations continue when you are downed. Ex. Pathfinder continues to grapple even when downed mid animation. I'm guessing that either the "cancel healing" or "equip weapon" animation continued while I was downed.
