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

IRL AK pattern rifle tactical reload. Ak's have a flush lower receiver magazine well, and magazines have a catch lip that has to be levered into place. The magazine release is in front of the trigger.
This leads to the fastest way to reload an AK is in one motion, with the left hand, trigger the magazine release and knock the empty mag out of the way, and levering the new mag into position. You then reach around (over or under) and charge the rifle with your left hand, leaving the right hand on the pistol grip the whole time. With practice you can do this in under a second and return o firing.
Important to note this is different than the "Iraqi Reload" that OP posted because with that, you have to pull back and hold the charging handle/bolt with the right hand, which is less stable and more prone to being dropped. You're also slower getting back into shooting position because you're strong hand is off the pistol grip. Last, if you aren't empty, pulling back the handle will eject and waste a live round.
