the 2 reload types should be timed to see which way is faster

[veverkajm0311]

Old way has better weapon control.

[earthpigg]

"New" way was 5 seconds (:07-12), "Old" way was 4 seconds (:27-31). And the "Old" way isn't going to involve dropping your fucking weapon when you're in the heat of the moment.

I dont care who you are, unless you have a fireing line then speed reloading is somewhat useless. NOTHING beats a good duck and cover... for your life I mean... your life is important, right? (BTW im not criticising the video, just the tubers who are on a MW rampage)

try to reload like that in a fire fight and you will get your ass wasted. DON'T FUCK AROUND!!!!

@TheJimsterJim It cuts down on the amount of complicated machining that has to be done, the handle is part of the bolt which already ejects brass on the right side.

Plus the original style USSR optics mounted on the left side of the rifle, so a charging handle there would have interfered with those.

Plus you can avoid the issue by reloading before the rifle is empty.

looks like a good way to drop it.

your comment doesn't make sense but i can still tell wut your trying to say, and the chances of having blood on you in combat are very high and blood is very greasy on your hands and kills dexterity. Most of the time when someone fighting next to you gets shot (no matter what the range) your gonna have to help fix him and your gonna get bloody. Secondly you may get shot yourself and not die, if this gets blood on u or incapacitates EITHER arm, hand, shoulder, or clavicle, you cant do this.

@boombap420 so in that situation (which is extremely likely) you are gonna be re-teaching yourself the normal way to load an ak, which defeats the purpose of training these things in altogether. Now add in the nerves and adrenaline overdose you just got from watching your buddy's life slip away right infront of your eyes, and trust me... youll get why the original way is better. O and btw alot of enemy encounters occur at very close ranges. especially tailban ones. too much COD stuckinhome for u
