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?"

Edited by Somerandomguy30: 5/25/2015 2:48:20 PMI 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.
