People are trying to apply emotion to a mechanical act. Reloading an empty gun is a MECHANICAL action, not an emotional event.
Let's try a thought exercise.
We have four robots. One is a USPSA GM competitor. One is a banker with a CCW. One is a Police Officer. One is a high level Special military robot. They are each constrained with their particular laws and rules for shooting someone/something.
1) The competition robot is shooting an array of targets. His gun runs dry and he still has more targets left to shoot...
2) The Banker Robot is attacked by two guys trying to rob him. His gun runs dry and one person is still trying to kill him...
3) The cop robot is trying to stop an active shooter. His gun runs dry and the bad guy is still trying to kill school children...
4) The Special military robot is in Pakistan doing CQB on a kill/capture mission. He has just shot three dudes in two rooms. His gun runs dry and another bad guy runs in...
With each constrained by their own particular environment and situation, do you really believe that they would reload differently? They ALL need to get the gun back in working condition as fast as possible and get back to the task at hand.
