with a chicom chest rig, putting the mags in the pouches with the flaps tucked behind will definitely assure retention. With true Soviet suspender belt gear, the tri-cell AK mag pouch, this doesn't work, but chicom chest rigs were way more popular than belt gear with the VC and NVA.

For americans, ALICE is pretty slow, but keeping the mags exposed for fast reloads was done by everyone with more modern gear in iraqistan.

Re chicom chest rig: even if that does work, reload times should be 6-7 seconds, no?

Re American pouches. That might be the case for war in dry areas which are fought by throughly mechanized troops. If you dismount your vehicle, patrol in urban areas, then mount again and drive to base, exposed magazines are maybe an option. But I cannot imagine that in the jungle of Vietnam exposed magazines would be a very good idea.

Also, ALICE with its plastic fasteners was adopted only in 1973.

On a good day I can do 5-6 seconds consistently from a chicom.

Judging from the newly released video of the MAT 49, even on your good days you're 5 or 6 times too slow. The time which elapses from the removing of the "old" magazine to the insertion of the "new" seems to be less than a second...

Now you say "like call of duty".

But it's actually "like literally every single first person shooter there ever was".

insurgency, squad, PR, RO:Ost are all pretty slow. Not as slow as OP wants, but I think it's an OK compromise.

Checked out the reload animations from squad and insurgency. I agree they could be a compromise. Just not the "got my mag/shells on an invisible table right in front of my left hand"-animation, please!

I dunno. PR reloads you do a whole bunch of BS with the weapon every reload that you wouldn't do with a reload and it's all in slow motion.

Maybe increase reload time when being suppresed, when you're moving and when you hear shots. Even though when I think of it it could be so ridiculous like the increased stamina regain when laying down. So it's easy to mess up.

Increasing the overall reload time is not wrong tho.

As for guns that use stripper clips/hand loading, anyone who has used one of these weapons before can tell you that it will never go in as smoothly as it does in a video game. Even with liberal lubrication, it will take an extra second or two to get all the rounds in a stripper clip to go into the internal magazine. With hand loaded weapons, you will usually have to wiggle the cartridge a bit to get it to fit into the magazine.

have you gone to BCT or your country's equivalent?

In my country that's called joining the army.

I've used various firearms and none of them involve looking at the gun turning it over in your hands as part of the reload. As that's what happens in PR lol. In the AK47 reload thread. All the videos everyone linked. They all reload faster than the AK47 reload in PR lol.

PR throws in a lot of unnecessary gun porn just so they can say they have unnecessary gun porn, not once reloading a C7 have I done all the wacky flips they do in PR

it's called a chamber check, and it's why the M70 series of AK uses a different magazine.

Maybe you should become more informed?

Whether you should actually do it is a point of discussion and training, but no it isn't just "gun porn"
