Allow the use of CoB with a ranged weapon equipped

Allow the use of CoB with a ranged weapon equipped
This idea/suggestion is Open. You can respond to ask questions or discuss the idea and either vote it up or down if you believe it should or should not be implemented, respectively. Popular suggestions and ideas will be considered by the development team to become reality in-game.
Proposal
Allow CoB to be usable while a ranged weapon is equipped.
Justification
Commando and Smuggler have access to CoB, by default, but have to mess around swapping to a melee weapon and back in order to use it, on top of already having to stand still and accommodate the slight lag/desync. This makes no sense and causes unnecessary hassle.
Motivation
Make using CoB less of a ballache to use for ranged players.
CoB good. Weapon swapping bad.
 
I think this would be OK if the time to activate was increased to something like 4-5s when holding a ranged weapon. This means you have the option of swapping to melee and using it (probably quicker if efficient at swapping? More mobility) or just standing still for a longer time (easier but more situational).

I personally like this idea although the original post got down voted I feel this would be a nice compromise.
