TR3 Thames Wharf Weapon Combining Bug

The clunky easy-to-see method:
1. Press and hold Duck. Select a two-handed weapon, the MP5 here.
2. Crawl forward a little.
3. Stand and select another two-handed weapon, in this case the Grenade Launcher.

Now you can fire the ammo of the second weapon at the rate of the first weapon, until you run out of ammo.

This video was made on a PC. I made it by going to Inventory to select the weapons so it would be easy to see what I'm doing, but in an actual speedrun I'd use hotkeys, of course. Since you can use Inventory I assume other game machines can also do this bug.

This only works in TR3, but other versions work in TR2, using a ladder or underwater pickup.

Although you had no rockets, you're spamming grenades through this method. I dunno if I made my comment clear enough (it sounded clear in my head lol), but this video pretty much sums up what I was trying to say, except with a grenade launcher instead of a rocket launcher.

Is this bug exclusive to TR3, or can it be used in TR4 as well?

@ggctuk2011 Sorry, I'm still totally confused about what you mean by "spamming grenades". Please try to say the same thing without using that phrase.

@ggctuk2011 I read the comment on the other video and know I understand that you mean "fire many grenades repeatedly". Well, I guess you can do that with this bug, but you still can only fire as many grenades as you have picked up.

@ggctuk2011 Yes, it works in TR4, but the only two-handed weapons are the shotgun, crossbow and grenade gun. The first two fire about once per second, and the GG takes about 40% more time to fire. So I doubt doing the bug saves much time firing grenades.

[ggctuk2011]

@rrcarroll252 Unless you are using TRLE with something other than a shotgun/crossbow in the shotgun/crossbow slot, naturally.

@ggctuk2011 Since you asked about TR4, my remark is about TR4, not TRLE.

I see. The weapon combining bug has really many ways to do.
