No, the mag has already be inserted, bolt-catch release engaged, fire, fire, fire, pause, walk around to find new fire position, see target, engage target, nothing, "oh crap!", tap, tap, tap, tap bolt-catch release, fire, fire, fire. (doubt starts to kick in if the next volley of shots will fire off, not good)

There were a couple of times, i just changed mags.

But you can say the details of each incident are not completely clear due to "stress" of the situation each time.
