In most shooter games, you can reload in the middle of a magazine. Do people do this in the real world? If they do, is it a waste of bullets?

I'd assume that some people, in combat do reload with a few rounds left in the clip, if they know how many rounds they've fired. A gun makes a distinctive sound when out of ammunition, so when that happens, one should find cover, and reload.

It doesn't make a distinctive sound, the bolt simply won't close. So, while the bolt's open, you slap in a new mag, slide the bolt forward, and the round's already in the chamber. And to answer the original post, yes, people do that in combat. Mags get dropped.

Not unless it was an emergency or something. But in real war you don't run around shooting people, so you usually just empty the clip at your target when it's almost empty.

I guess you could remove some bullets from a full clip and individually reload a half empty one.

seems kinda stupid though you end up with the same **** in the end.

well games are stupid like that and they try to make war seem really eayy, but no. The only game that ive seen that kinda 'punishes' you for reloading early is Rainbow Six because when you relad at half clip, all the bullets that were left in that clip are wasted.

I would assume so, you're not going to run around with only 1 in the chamber :?
