Yeah of course I see your point. Rounds can be consolidated, naturally. I was hinting more at the way the current mechanics work... if you're on the battlefield, you're not going fire five rounds of a fresh clip, kill the guy, then reload... y'know?

By losing the bullets not spent in a clip upon reloading, it would force players to make the most of their ammo. More realistic? yeah! Also, it would prevent the current "fire-reload-fire-reload" gameplay that exists now, which again, isn't very realistic.
