  9. Speed reload - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_reload

    The primary disadvantage of performing a speed reload is that the old magazine is not immediately retained, instead allowed to drop to the ground —though it could be retrieved later. Additionally, it may be louder than a tactical reload, as the ejected magazine is left to fall. See also. Tactical reload; Closed bolt; Open bolt; References
