If you reload any rifle before firing the last round off, you just have to release the magazine and click another one in there.
You also get to put the old magazine in your webbing pouch to reuse later on!

This has already been raised on the Dev forums around a year ago. We ARE aware of it, however there is very little that we can do, due to a lack of animators.
If a few of the community could learn this important skill, I'm sure Rhino will show his thanks in his own spekial way

Firearms for Half-Life had such a system. In fact, you could merge your partially loaded magazines, too.

IDK, even though the cocking every reload isn't that realistic it is satisfying to the ears.

the original poster is on about dry and tactical reloads if im not mistaken, the only game ive played that did this well was rainbow six, i think the devs where even flash banged so they could put it in the game realisticly

Kids **** guns and take out the magazine and "accidentally" shoot each other.

Oh, come on. It's obvious that the guy was trying to request more ammo via the commo rose, but fired his weapon instead. It happens.

i dont know if you guys know this, but guns fire bullets. and the bullets run out cuz usually they only have like 20 in the container that loads them into the gun. thats called a magazine. when the magazine is empty, they have to put another one in.
hope this clears some things up.

im gonna take that as heavy sarcasm... if the only reason youre an expert is cuz youve seen them fired...well, ****, im an expert too. *edit* i posted before all the following so i see the sarcasm now!

sorry!
that being said, id love to see the whole - pulling the trigger 31 times, reload, and have to go through the entire motion, whereas, if you didnt try to shoot and get a click and then reload, your animation is shorter, since you dont need to pull back the cocking handle thingamajig...
BUT, im sure this has been talked baout tons... nad really, its not a big deal, i reload after firefights, when its safe, and if i have to reload under cover... so... its not a big deal to me... also, i wouldimagine its faster than IRL anyway (having all that gear, reaching for a new mag, being shot at.. thats a lot the game isnt taking into consideration...)
