Filling your weapon and reloading silliness.

[Zjasuu 337]

If you fire a weapon like mosin once, it leaves 4 rounds in the gun, why do I have to take them out of there before I can add more ammo? Like... I have 4 bullets in the gun, I fire once, it leaves 3 bullets, then if I want to add ammo in I must first remove the remaining bullets, why? Alphur?

 

BTW: Filling M4 magazines should take as long as it would take IRL to push 60 bullets into a magazine, it shouldn't be a magical auto-reload.

Agreed.

 

I'm sure it'll be 'proper' in the future though.

Much easier to load a magazine if you have clips and a feeder/speed loader.

[TheWanderingMan 170]

It's a lot better than 99% of other games that claim to be realistic. Sure it'll get sorted in the future.

 

Reloading should take longer though, takes time to open your pouch, take out new mag, replace old one back in pouch and put the new one on.

dunno, used both and I can jam thirty rounds down in about the same time. Only thing it ever saved me was torn up fingertips.

[TheWanderingMan 170]

Mag chargers never work properly, they always seem to jam at the most inopportune moment.

No offense xRann, but you can't load a 30 round by hand as fast as you can with clips and a speed loader. How do l know this? I've loaded tens of thousands of 5.56 rounds into 30 round magazines, both by hand and with clips/speed loader.

I do agree wot he the OP that you should just be able to add more rounds to weapons like the Mosin and revolver. Obviously with the revolver you would have to remove the empty casings.

Reload times should be that long. I can load an M4, M9, and AK in less than 2 seconds and that is without dropping the empty magazine.

Most games have your character reload weapons wrong if you've fired all the rounds in your magazine. Bolts and slides have a catch when you've fired your last round and all you have to is hit the release once you've loaded another magazine. Most games have you charge your weapon after reloading if you've fired all your rounds.

Actually in battle you would just drop the empty mag.  Better to lose a mag and have a loaded bang-stick if someone is shooting at you!  If you reload in the "tab" menu OK, but if you reload using middle mouse button you should actually drop the mag in the gun and put the new one in!  Then you'd have to remember to pick it up!  :thumbsup:

Agreed, if you drag 'n drop ammo onto a half-full mosin, it should just top up the mag.

Mate I'd never drop a mag, been in plenty of contacts and never did it!

 

The quartermaster would have bummed me if I did!!

None taken, just my experience. Perhaps the loaders I used were junk or user error. Loaded plenty of mags and always just ended up hand loading and telling people to disregard the blood if I had to bang out cases.

[chekovp 89]

I will agree that the speed loaders for 5.56 rounds are shit and will stop working properly after a while, I would always grab new ones every chance I had.

[TheWanderingMan 170]

If you can load three clips quickly the mag chargers are great, but everyone who's ever used one will know that it's never that easy. Especially when you're shaking, rushing and under pressure.

Good man! Even if you had to shove that fucker into your blouse/jacket or whatever to save 1/10th of a second.
