To change weapons from the floor faster, hit x, or hit e while running over the weapon. It's also faster if you hold down x or e while moving over it. Also, if a weapon is flying through the air (eg if someone naded a rocket launcher) and it flies towards you, you can catch it in midair if you move into the path of it while holding e or x.
I made a particularly sweet kill once when I caught a rocket launcher in mid-jump and fired directly into a banshee.
WARNING! If you hold x or e while meleeing someone or very close to someone who dies, you may lose your alternate weapon, and not be able to hold 2 weapons at the same time until you die again.
