Is it possible to pick up secondary weapons in COD?

Question

In COD, is it possible to pick up secondary weapons from defeated opponents, or can I only swap out my primary weapon? I never took much notice of this before, but after having a break from COD and recently playing again this has become quite obvious to me.

In many other games that I have played it is possible to replace any weapon being carried, but in COD I cannot seem to work out how to do this for secondary weapons. This would be especially useful for dual wielding since ammunition is spent at a much faster rate.

Can this be done?

Which Call of Duty specifically are you playing? The tag you used is for the original game — Robotnik, Apr 20 '16 at 07:25
I assume this works similarly in the series, therefore any game. I may have used the incorrect tag though. — FrontEnd, May 06 '16 at 00:47

You can, in fact, replace your secondary weapon. This is a tactic me and my friends have used since call of duty 2, and atleast up to modern warfare 2.

So in order to pick up an enemy's secondary weapon they would need to die with their secondary drawn? If they had the dual wield/akimbo attachment that would mean picking up 2 secondaries right? – FrontEnd Aug 01 '15 at 11:23
