This is the fun aversion or supplement to the Bottomless Magazines trope. Sometimes the gunslinger has to have a cool (if not practical) way of reloading to show how badass he is. Usually the Unorthodox Reload involves a lot of unnecessary and complicated choreography. In others, it involves incredible, mostly impossible—and often obscenely-unsafe—feats of physics that if attempted in reality, would either not work, jam the firearm in question or result in grievous bodily harm. Reloading a firearm is actually a deceptively complex procedure, and must be done carefully. If done improperly the gun may jam or malfunction. At worst, you could seriously injure yourself.

Abnormal Ammo | |
| Unorthodox Reload / int_12c65d9b | comment |
The Vanu Sovereignty's "bolt-action" sniper rifles in PS2 will blast out their side-mounted battery packs every time they are fired, which are then smacked back into place when the user cycles the "bolt". Reloading all Vanu weapons replaces the side-mounted battery in a ridiculously complicated screwing motion. Players using the VS pump-action plasma shotguns individually slide in what appear to be Energizer AA-batteries into the bottom of the gun. | |

Spectacular Spinning | |
| Unorthodox Reload / int_17afe894 | comment |
Maliwan is a close second, though. Their snipers have top-break receivers with the mag nestled inside, pistols and rocket launchers have triad-shaped battery packs for magazines that stay exposed and are inserted from the side (in the case of launchers, the reload is not done until it does a spinning motion), and SMG's have either a constantly rotating wheel magazine that has to be cranked upon insertion, or in the case of cheaper models, a battery-like mag that fits imperceptibly into the side of the gun and can only be ejected by running a finger over a specific portion of the receiver, like one would a mobile device's touchscreen. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Unorthodox Reload / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Except KAEDE. In fact, this is one of her two balancing measures (alongside Glass Cannon): she deals good damage and has a scope, letting her nail the enemy's weak spots from long range with consistency, but she reloads at a realistic pace - which in this game means it takes forever. It takes forever and a day if you reload while still aiming, as she fumbles the reload. This ends up being her downfall when you duel against the Handsome Men - Handsome Light Brown finishes reloading before KAEDE and shoots while she's still swapping mags. | |

Rule of Cool | |
| Unorthodox Reload / int_36e63b81 | comment |
To their credit, the Helghan weapons hold more ammunition than the equivalent ISA weapons. While the ISA standard M82 assault rifle (essentially a bullpupped M4 that moves the mag well into the telescoping stock while leaving the receiver largely unchanged otherwise) holds 32 rounds, the Helghast assault rifle holds 40. However, this is offset by the fact that the muzzle jump for the Helghan weapons is cylindrical instead of straight up (that is, when you shoot, the bullets will eventually go around the target instead of above it, which makes no sense whatsoever but doesn't need to); Helghan automatic weaponry is also less accurate at longer ranges compared to their ISA counterparts. | |

| Unorthodox Reload / int_548bd053 | comment |
The Flare Revolver, rather than using speedloaders like the .44 Magnum, has its entire cylinder removed and replaced with a new, fully-loaded one when players reload. When dual-wielding them, the player slams the barrel of the first revolver down on the second to break it open, before breaking open the first via grabbing the barrel with their other hand. | |

Super-Speed | |
| Unorthodox Reload / int_5768d31 | comment |
It is technically possible to do this in 3rd edition as well, with two feats (rapid reload and quickdraw). According to a literal interpretation of the feats, you put one crossbow away, reload the other, put that away, take the first one out, reload it, and pull out the second crossbow. All in the time it takes to discuss combat tactics. Doesn't actually work, due to a subtle facet of the Quick Draw feat— it makes *drawing* weapons a free action, but doesn't affect the action needed to put them away. Many, many players overlook this detail. This is one of many reasons the number of free actions you can take is largely DM's discretion. |

Gun Porn | |
| Unorthodox Reload / int_67e53056 | comment |
Although the Gun Porn first-person shooter Black doesn't exactly have unorthodox reloads, if its most detailed aspect is its guns, the second most detailed aspect are said guns' reloads. Every single reload completely blurs the focus of anything past your gun and the hand that is hold it, essentially forcing you to pay attention to your normal, albeit slightly exaggerated, reloads. It's averted if you're under fire, though, in which a quick, no-nonsense reload occurs. With the speed-loading revolver, Jack spends a full second staring at the new clip before inserting it. Jack tips the M16 magazine's top towards him to see whether there is ammo inside. The MP5 has him smacking the new mag against the side of the gun to line up the cartridges right before inserting it. |

Scavenger World | |
| Unorthodox Reload / int_74e9a5b1 | comment |
On the other hand, some of the Scavenger World-made firearms have such bizarre designs that they require an unorthodox reload by design, such as the Shambler/Uboinik shotgun, whose externally loaded, exposed revolving buckshot cylinder which in which two of the six cylinders are blocked (by the Luger-like toggle lock firing mechanism, and by the gun's frame), meaning the gun must be cycled or tossed from hand-to-hand to load each of the cylinders - the gun has about a dozen unique animations solely for different combinations of firing state, shell position, and ammo count. | |

Reality Is Unrealistic | |
| Unorthodox Reload / int_85557b38 | comment |
To a more realistic degree, some actual guns have a slightly unorthodox reload action that is actually part of their standard operation procedure, and these unusual yet realistic actions make them screenwriter favorites. Some examples include: The "HK slap": a slap on the charging handle after loading a fresh magazine found on several HK guns. This is also an action recommended by the manufacturer themselves and not from field experience. The Ithaca shotgun's "slamfire": on models without a trigger disconnector, it is possible to rapid fire the gun by jackhammering the slide while keeping the trigger pushed The M16's "tap and slap": tapping the magazine against your helmet to align the rounds and prevent a misfeed, inserting the magazine and slapping the bolt release paddle The M1 Garand's distinctive "ping" when firing the last shot is a favorite. |

In the finale of the TV series, he uses telekinesis to pull a magazine from across the room and catch it in his gun. | |

Hand Cannon | |
| Unorthodox Reload / int_9cde2df1 | comment |
The Commissioner and Underboss revolvers in Planetside 2 split their ammo chambers in half along each side of the gun, which are then both reloaded by separate speed-loaders. Interestingly, it doesn't matter how the chamber is orientated from firing, it will always split in half along the gun's centerline. However, if 3 or less shots have been fired, only the left side of the chamber is reloaded. | |

Cassidy spins his Peacemaker revolver on his finger to eject the spent bullet casings, jams in a fresh set, then gives a quick twist of the hand to knock the chamber back into place. | |

Zenyatta simply recharges his Orbs (which float around his neck like Buddhist beads) by briefly meditating, which from first person perspective resembles a few dramatic hand gestures and his Orbs whizzing under the screen. | |

Ur-Example in First-Person Shooter games: the space marine in Doom II always fires two and loads two when using the super shotgun. | |

| Unorthodox Reload / int_b2cdd776 | comment |
Much like the Scattergun and Stickybomb launcher, the Medic's line of syringe guns have Bottomless Magazines... of syringes. He still has to replace the air canisters in the back (which function identically to box magazines as far as the player needs to be concerned). | |

A third person reload for the Kolibri that only plays when the user is prone where they simply pat the ground, as if they dropped it and can't find it. | |

Symmetra summons a Hard Light sphere, then feeds it into the side of the Photon Projector. No adding in a magazine or even opening any parts of her gun, she just floats a Hard Light sphere into it. | |

Expert marksman and Gun Fu practitioner Agent Zero from X-Men Origins: Wolverine solved the dilemma of reloading while dual wielding by tossing up his two pistols into the air from behind, then pulling out two magazines and simultaneously catching both pistols onto them... IN SLOW MOTION. | |

The Engineer | |
| Unorthodox Reload / int_c9981efb | comment |
Torbjörn's ammo for his Rivet Gun is actually extremely hot slag generated by the claw-like device in his other hand. When he needs to reload, he generates a cup's worth of it and pours it directly into his gun. | |

Gun Twirling | |
| Unorthodox Reload / int_ce4f133d | comment |
Several heroes with energy-based weapons (such as Tracer and her Pulse Pistols, Winston and his Tesla Cannon, or Zarya and her Particle Cannon) reload by lifting their weapons up and allowing them to recharge, usually without needing to exchange or replace any parts of the device itself. Some get unique flourishes like how Tracer spins her pistols on her fingers, or Orisa absorbs some kind of green, gaseous substance through it. | |

During a battle with the Special Assault Team in Ajin, Sato makes use of "quickloader" tubes to rapidly reload his pump-action shotgun. | |
