Weapon and Animation Fixes

• Minor adjustments to weapon model animations.
• Talon and Karambit knives are now held correctly during defuse animations.
• Fixed a bug where the C4 equip sound was not interrupted by other equip sounds.
• Removed the first-person death sound effect that played when the death music stinger was inaudible.
• Fixed an AO shader bug when using alpha test that caused silhouettes to appear too dark and chunky, as seen on railings in Mirage.
• Fixed a case where players could end up holding no weapon after requesting a hand switch following a grenade throw.
