This is war! Stop admiring your clip of ammo and shoot your damn gun!

I think it's the SC-2010 that the player actually takes the clip out of the gun to check the ammo. It's one thing to pick up a weapon and rechamber, but to actually to take the clip out?!? The action seems to take forever and a couple times now I've died because my initial primary ran dry and the SC was first weapon I've found. When you're being shot at every second counts so taking the clip out...
