When I watch some videos of people playing the Assault or Supply classes in BF4, sometimes they will cast a health or ammo pack such that it appears right in front of their view for their own use immediately. For example, Matimio often does this in his vids.
How do you do this? When I try to use these packs, it always "throws" the pack forward, which is normally what I would expect when giving packs to other people. This isn't ideal because I have to run forward to pick it up, which often means going out of cover when I'm trying to heal or reload.
I'm on the PC version of BF4.

bobfet1 already said it:
You can adjust the range your soldier throws the package. If you look closer to the ground, you throw it in front of your own legs. This is how you can supply yourself without moving. Keep in mind that you don't have to stand exactly on your supply, it has a small range. Others, by the way, can also get supplied by this, so if you want to supply only yourself, keep in mind you need a little distance to your mates.
