A non-standard reloading technique popularized by Iraqi troopers on AK style rifles. The bolt is held open with the right hand, pressing the stock into the shoulder, while the left hand uses a fresh magazine to sweep the magazine catch, ejecting the empty magazine, then loading the full one, in one smooth motion. The left hand returns to the grip, and the bolt is released, chambering a round. While generally thought to be a more efficient method of reloading, or simply following the rule of cool, this was actually done as the magazines the Iraqis used were often mismatched and from widely different manufacturing dates and places, so holding the bolt open when inserting the mag helped ensure the round would chamber and the mag would seat correctly.
