This is a mechanic of almost all shooters called sprint canceling. It is meant to stop the reload animation during a firefight as reloading prevents u from fighting back. If used correctly u are able to load a few shotgun rounds or switch guns which allows u to fight back.

you can have the same effect more effectively by meleeing while reloading. melee is usually faster then starting and stopping a sprint anyway so why not allow a reload while sprinting?

Thanks for that, I play a lot of BF4 so am used to switching weapons. I was just hoping it might be a possibility. I see someone below has mentioned a gun upgrade that allows this so its gonna be part of the game anyway. Cheers.
