Guns Do Not Work That Way

This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop.

Why are those bullets still inside the cartridges? ...Wait, are those springs firing them?!^note Yes it is, because that means you get 65% more bullet per bullet!

The player character in multiplayer reloads the M203 mounted under his M16A4. Note the fire selector set to "look I just broke the fire selector."
