I know of the advantages but it seems pointless, first off this doesn't follow the theme of realism ( excluding being able to jump 80 feet in the air and shooting a laser hook from your pelvis ) you would have to strap on a c02 thruster pack to be able to change directions like that in mid air which doesn't seem practical in real life. How would it be controlled ( a bound button is to much in my opinion since some people have trouble figuring out the hook ) so not exactly the most user friendly option. Using a weapon slot would complicate things further by having to switch to it drop down and get your weapon out just so you can attempt to kill someone .5 seconds quicker. I do believe there has been talk about a user controlled option for gravity not sure what happened to it, prob lost among the other suggestions. Also say you jump over a ledge and use the gravity function you could gain to much velocity and hurt or kill yourself from the fall = makes noise and then not so stealthy anymore which could be a disadvantage to this but then you could of just jumped in the air and slowly fall down and get behind them or whatever the situation calls for.
Do to what was said above i don't think it would bring to much of an advantage, at most the best thing to do along the lines of changing gravity is buy the weapon which would change your gravity to normal and to get rid of it just sell_weapon, no bound buttons or weapon slots to worry about. <-- wouldn't complicate things to much.
