Granted, the feat clearly allows you to equip or switch weapons once in combat as a free action but the second removal of a weapon seems shady to me. I would have to deem it as a move equivalent. IMO the purpose of the feat is to allow you to start melee combat without a weapon and still receive a full attack action or draw a weapon, attack and then move – both of which are impossible without the feat. I doubt the game designers had in mind a feat that is very easy to obtain (second level wizard can qualify) which would allow an individual to rotate through all of his weapons in a given round.
