Not specifically feet, but the femoral artery can do some nasty things if you cut it. (And most of the body armor I know of doesn't protect that area.

Oh, keep the darn things! They're very handy in the woods and in small buildings;

I'd say give it an alternate (right click) and put the band aid there. That would free up a slot where the bandage used to be.

if i was to make two changes to the knifes it would be.

(A) Cannot use Knife while prone. [Reason being. Nobody in real life prone dives to stab. You end up stunning yourself and in any case if you snuck up on a prone marksman it would make more sense to get the knife under his throat while pulling his head back. not shiving his heels.)

(B) Get rid of the stupid swishy-swoshy sounds on the bayonetts and knives. its old. the only sounds should be the sound of the knife making contact with the texture.

(Also) Knifes are for personal defence and silent takedowns. And the main thing that ruins the emmesrion of a silent takedown is the character screaming when he has been slashed. if your throats slashed you gargle, then drop, at least i think so anyways. These old assed sound that are still in use are by no means a trifle to replace but if its at all possible the removal of screams for silent takedowns would be very nice. It would make the usage of a knife more worthy of the weapon slot.

We could change the shovel into a melee weapon, bam open slot.

At least for conventional maps.

Squad member 1: I'm still bleeding out. Can anybody spare me a patch?

Squad member 2: Here, take mine.

Squad member 2 [teamkilled] Squad member 1

Squad member 2: Oh shit, my bad, I knifed you instead.

I wouldn't mind seeing Crewmen lose their zip-ties on insurgency.. I get pretty irate when a tank driver dismounts to perform an arrest on a collaberator.

the knife is the greatest. I killed a firebase and 3 guys with a knife today on Quai being a sneaky bastard in the grass. unless you make the shovel able to bash peoples heads in i want the knife.

Could we add another attack mode for the weapons to bash with the buttstock instead?

you should type in all chat, that they can just overrun them, no need to dismount

no, and again, how we will be destroying FBs and RPs without it?
i personally cant see anything what emergency requires a new slot
