Glitch: Unable to zoom and shoot

When zooming in with the ‘z’ button I am unable to shoot, I can still shoot with the crossbow’s alt-fire zoom

Not a glitch.

Although I think you can still use the mounted guns with zoom on, but it’s choppy.

How is it not a glitch? Is it a bug?

HL has always been like that, you can’t suit zoom and shoot at the same time. only zoom with the right weapons (crossbow and iron sights with the revolver).

That’s a feature and not a bug/glitch. Don’t you expect your pistol to actually be sniper-rifle-like thing allowing you to zoom in and shoot at the same time, do you?

If you can’t zoom and shoot why does the crosshair not dissapear or something, it’s very misleading

Zoom in to line up a shot with the crosshair, then zoom back out and fire.
