I think many of us are familiar with this: immediately after dropping a satchel charge, either the primary weapon or detonator will be drawn – but which one comes out is unpredictable. Something must decide which one comes out, but I’ve heard conflicting answers and I’m hoping I can get an authoritative one here.
Actual critera for covert auto-weapon-switching?

generally the only time this happens to my is when i’m throwing a satchel on the assult ramp and an ally comes running up the ramp. It is quite annoying because i would rather blow the ramp and die by the gun fire rather than duel it out with the ally…
I don’t usually play cvt much though. I have heard, not authoritative though, that it depends on the proximity of enemy or gunfire…

Its definitely an annoying problem. I mean your enemy is STANDING RIGHT ON YOUR SACHEL and the damn computer draws your gun…
Unfortunately I dont know what controls this. But yeah its probably proximity or something.
…SIGH… :bored:

i always press the numbers to what item i wanna use anyways. good habits to have.
even when I"m laying mines, i press 5 the moment i throw one down. (or 3 if I suddenly see someone rushing at me)

It’s a feature 
. I myself have problems with the satchel too sometimes. When you trow it out and want to blow a enemy, it takes your gun :s. This has to be fixed
