Definitely. But then the disadvantage should be that you have to load the shotguns like you do in real life. Having to do this while a zombie horde approaches would be awesome!
Tried the M1014 in the editor and it loads as a full clip (does the real thing?). Is this is an ArmA limitation?
In the game, both the M1014 and the Remington 870 use the "magazine" reload, like a single reload for all the 8 shells.
However, IRL, there is no such thing, both weapons would have to be manually reloaded, one shell at a time. (By the way, the video you posted is about a rifle, not a shotgun, even though DayZ treats it as a shotgun :P)
I actually like this idea very very much. As a Gun Nut myself, I find it a bit off that you cant take all those 200 rounds inside a box magazine of a M249 to use on your beloved M4A3, just because I dont have empty magazines to fill... This Idea is VERY realistic and I dont think it would be that hard to implement, seeing as it can be done in a similar way as the "convert magazines" is already made (when you would press to Disassemble a magazine, it would delete the full mag from inventory and spawn 2 items, the empty mag and the separated bullets, then, you could have 3 or 4 options of which magazine you want to re-assemble, just need the bullets and the correct empty mag)
