Whack the Backpack (remove strip backpack)

THE PROBLEM

You probably know of stacking backpack bug. It has been here for ages.

If you dont - try equiping minigun, laser minigun, shish, k9000, grenade machineguns or their unique variations, and while equiped hold R to retract them. Then pick any other same class; or while having them equipped save, then reload the save; or die and then reload that save.

Old backpack stays there, until you quit to desktop and reload. It also causes crashes.

It STACKS with newer backpack. You can easily end up carrying 30+ backpacks!! in a manner similar to hedgehog carrying apples.

And physics apply to them!! This is no less than embarassing and completely breaking immersion! Making use of backpack weapons nearly impossible!

Many noble people have tried to fix that..  I finally succeeded.

... did I miss something?
