Picking gun on No Revive servers

Hello guys, usually i just post something that i want in some already posted discussion, but this one deserves its own after making me die yesterday and remember all the time i died because of it.

On the servers that has Revives on, you can just touch person for securing and he drops gun, then spawns with only pistol if revived. That is awesome feature (unless you removed it, don't remember last time i seen it. However when we play competitive there is no revives, so most of the time there is no need of secure, i would even propose to simply remove secure option when guy can't be revived anymore, no need to secure his dead body.
The problem it causes is that you can't pick gun right after kill and you end up standing and waiting for him to disappear or you secure dead person to just get gun faster, is there really a meaning for that? :)

The problem it causes is easily visible in video from yesterday i ran into :)

    Is this actually a thing in comp again? Or was it never fixed and I just didn't notice because I stopped playing the sniper?

    well theoretically you can pick up, but sometimes if gun is in bad spot (most of the time) you still have hard time picking it up.

    Do the bodies instantly disappear or will you be able to get into the securing animation just like in the video? You should never have the body and even worse the animation for comp (0 revives). It's something that really bothered me as well back when I was playing sniper. The response was really promising then I stopped playing sniper and thus caring about the issue assuming it would be fixed.

    Well they never came to that specific solution :) The revive time was different depending on head-shot or body shot during beta, then it was returned back to 45 seconds i think on every kill, however disabling secure never was done in any version. Basically what is asked to disable secure after guy die more then its available to revive. As long the guy is relivable its normal, or do we consider that securing action is like taking gun away from him? :) The body disappear in like 5 seconds and you can pick gun without securing but in case of a case like in video above, its matter of death or life. :)
