I honestly wouldn't consider that to be "unrealistic", I mean, in real life you also dont have to push several buttons to make a reload, how is pushing a single key to make a reload unrealistic?

Because there are several actions required to get the empty magazine out of the gun and put a fresh one in.

  1. Press magazine release to drop old magazine.
  2. Open pouch and grab fresh magazine.
  3. Put fresh magazine into gun.
  4. Cycle slide/action or press cycling/slide release button/lever.

That's a lot more than "press X for full mag".

Pretty much. Just to add to your thought, @foxhound_fox, games even lose much of the nuances of a reload. For example, handling an HK or Walther style lever mag release is different than a button on a Glock. Same can be said about an AK vs M4. Your hands are doing different things for each. Yet in many cases, regardless of manufacturer or even handgun vs carbine, on a controller/keyboard, it's all just one button for all guns.

But hey, at least they have lots of the animations correct. For a video game, they really only need the visual. And that's fine. I don't think I'd want an uber realistic representation of guns in any mass market video game if it gets in the way of the fun.

For those that want it, here's a link to all the evidence presented to grand jury. If it's already been posted, then good. Here it is again because I see it's been ignored:

@Serraph105: Let's be honest - people either have lost the ability to follow (and see through) the political nonsense or they simply choose not to. The party members might as well kill kittens on the chamber floors and blame it on the other party because the voters won't remember what actually transpired in 6 months.

Truth.

Example: Remember the "shut down" in October last year? It was a such a big deal back then. Fast forward to 2014 and not a peep about it. No Dem that I know of ran with that in their campaigns.

Why? because time has proven that it wasn't a big deal after all.

False. They wouldn't bring that up in their campaigns because most voters are idiots and see both parties at fault for the shutdown. Just look at the approval ratings for Congress before the shutdown, and during it. Even the President, who's only job for allocating governments funds is to sign or not sign a budget approved by both Houses. All of their approval ratings plummeted.

All the polling I've seen have trended toward Republicans being at fault, which is about as ridiculous as the possibility of the US going into default if we didn't raise the debt ceiling. At the time, that was the rhetoric echoing through the politisphere as well as the media.

However, on principle, I do agree with you that most voters aren't as informed as they should be, which is a huge problem pretty much all of the time.

The first major test I'm keeping an eye on is amnesty. If Obama uses executive action to force it, someone better raise some Caine over it.

Schools shootings in America have become regular news and it become terrible. I hope that the government will do something to stop the shootings in schools.

"have become regular news"

You said it right there. "If it bleeds, it leads." That's what they say, right? Let's not take mass media coverage as a true indicator of the frequency of these occurrences. As someone already pointed out, violent crimes have been decreasing for the past 4 decades. Meanwhile, gun ownership is at an all time high. Doesn't quite fit the "OMG-we-gotta-do-something!" narrative.

Let's be sensible and look at data before we start implementing policy on little more than emotion.

I'm not worried about the weapons they're carrying or the armor they strap to their chests, or even the vehicles they're rolling in.

I'd be more worried about the actions of the police. As long as they're not overstepping their authority, they can tote whatever they want. I can only speak to my own experiences. As a resident of The Bronx, I have yet to meet a cop that's treated me badly.

She can say whatever she wants. Why do people feel the need to respond? To a Tweet of all things. And the death threats are even more puzzling. Overreaction to an opinion over the internet seems to be the norm, I suppose. That in itself the the most disturbing part of this.

I have a Burger King outfit with the BK head and everything that I wore a few years ago. Will carry around the head and wear a black hood. Ergo... headless Burger King.
If I'm in the mood, I'll add a little blood.

I'm right/right. @gamerguru100, it's just a matter of training. My brother-in-law's the same way. The first time he went to the range with me, he was baffled as to why his shots were way off. We did method 2 on the site you linked and discovered he was cross-dominant. After a couple magazines, he was a-ok. Heck, he even shoots IDPA now.

So keep practicing. Before long, it will become a non-issue.

Although hunting isn't my cup o' tea, I'm going to look down my nose at someone who's into it. As long as hunting laws and conservation concerns are being considered, I'm pretty indifferent to hunting.
