pull out rifle \> watch slow ready animation + bolt charge \> hit reload \> watch slow reload animation + another bolt charge for no reason

what infuriates me the most is the autogun…

it has no catch for the charging handle and yet the character “turns” the bolt before “riding it forward” like if it was a broken MP5

if you compared it with the animations for the revolver, which is absolutely amazing animation quality wise (even though super slow to reload)

the gun is already charged, just flip the safety and go, geez  
and if it isnt, ram in a mag and release the bolt
