Characters Unique Reloads

Just characters with unique reloads. That's it.

Equilibrium: Clerics wrist mags

Various games - Iraqi Reload: A few games have this reload, including Call of Duty and The Finals. I would've put The Finals version here but I couldn't find a gif of it.

Battlefield Hardline - Various reloads: Various guns have a chance for a unique reload, these are two of my favorites.

Battlefield 1 - Double Barrel: The sawed off has a chance to mimic the reload from the Classic Doom double barel reload

maybe I’m weird but did anyone else ever think this looked so normal? I feel like when I wear a button-up shirt like that it feels so restrictive and like if I needed to do something strenuous I would try to shift the shirt around like this so the seams aren’t getting like stuck on my shoulders? just me???

I don't think anyone questions why he did it. He swings his arms once to shift his shirt to fit him looser, allowing for better range of motion for the fight. It's also a small warm up, and also pumps him up for the fight.

It isn't a meme cause it is "weird", it's a meme cause it's fucking badass.

I thought it was a meme because after he "loads" he suddenly has a beard and a breast pocket.

It’s not for his shirt, it was to generate blood flow for his arms. He’s talked about it in interviews

It’s also a meme because they literally put a reload sound over it in the trailers

No, I've never got what people find so funny in this scene, it seemed perfectly normal to me.

Watch his facial hair during the scene, he reloads his beard.

Also pocket on the shirt.

I think people just thought it looked cool (the foley in that trailer really helped too iirc), but they wouldn't have thought twice about it had someone's beautiful mind not come up with "did Henry Cavill just reload his fists?"

I had the wild opportunity to have a fully tailored shirt and jacket and that problem disappeared. I, like everyone, am uniquely shaped, so most dress shirts and suit jackets made me feel restricted, even with measurements. I bartended for a guys wedding and his best man was a tailor who had me come in and get a basic, but tailored suit. I could do ballet in it.

Tldr: yeah those type clothes suck for movement and tailors are wizards
