Noticed all of this as well. Scout rifles in particular upset me. Also, notice how you rack the bolt every time you reload. Most times on real firearms, after emptying a magazine, the slide or bolt are automatically locked to the rear and just need to be released once a new mag is inserted, not racked like you do. I know the people who said "go back to cod" below are going to say it again but one instance in game where a crazy amount of detail has been put in is the modern warfare series. When reloading an m4, if the mag has been emptied the player character inserts a new one and hits the bolt release button on the side. If the mag has not been totally emptied, then when a new mag is inserted the bolt release is not pushed, because it's still forward, because there's still a round in the chamber.

  • I was initially confused by the illogical way reloading works in shooter games. "What, I should reload now? The magazine isn't empty! Won't I be throwing away perfectly good unfired rounds?"

    I have a .22 rifle and It has to be racked every time you load a new mag. It's just a matter of whether or not the gun has a system to catch the slide when the mag is empty. Although you'd think that after the "golden age" they'd have it on all guns...

  • In the Golden Age, guns became SO COOL that you had to rack them twice before every shot!

  • I know some weapons need to be racked every time. But most (modern) weapons, especially those in use by militaries and law enforcement around the world operate as I previously stated.
