When'ever you fire just one shot with a fully loaded rifle and proceed to reload, your character will reload two and not just one more round into the gun. Doesn't matter how many times in a row you shoot just one round and then reload to make sure the mag is full, the character always reloads atleast two rounds.

I think this is because when you pull the bolt back to the rear, you extract a live round. So imagine 5 rounds in your rifle. You fired 1 round. You work the bolt, extracting the casing and load another into the chamber. Now you want to reload so you have 5 rounds. You pull the bolt to the rear, the live round chambered flies out and so you replace it, you put in 2 rounds. That makes 5. :)

The first round that gets extracted is the spend one, so that shouldn't be the case ;) This is ofcourse only the case if you didn't pull back the bolt to chamber a new round in the meantime as you said, but even then it is possible to pull it back and reload a new round on top without loosing an unfired one by simply holding your thumb on top of the round caught by the bolt.

Seems to be a problem with all the guns - you reload a different amount of bullets than you fired. It's quite easily repeatable, seems to happen the majority of the time.

Sometimes, If I die with a half spent clip, I spawn with the same amount of ammo in the clip I spawn with.

I have reloaded 20 rounds one time :) (with the Kar, but I think other semi/rifles are affected).

Alright I just checked it ingame with the bolt actions, and with them you actually only reload 1 round if you don't work the bolt after your first shot, which is completely correct. So apparently you loose a round if you try to reload midclip, seeing as your character won't hold his thumb on the live round caught by the bolt, instead the live round gets extracted.

Maybe TWI should model the thumb on top method, so you don't lose a round and have to load an extra round each time, this would be abit more handy.
