That's just wrong.
Try use Hunting Shotgun, and press the fire exactly 2 times, IT WILL AUTORELOAD. Nothing you can do about it.
Try it first.
I sort of agree with all of this and then I sort of don't, but more so that I do.
I don't have a problem with auto-reload with weapons like pistols and magazine-weapons, but the auto-reload for weapons like the M99 and the Hunting Shotgun are rather annoying. The M99 already has stupid fast reload. I think it would not only help balance the M99 out, but would add to the flavor, realism and horror aspects of the game if you had to manually reload weapons like these. Or, at least like the other guy said, click again to auto-reload, rather than actually just reloading on the spot.
In short: I don't mind auto-reload, but I hate it when it is entirely unavoidable.
