I just read about WWII a lot.

You know how I know you’ve never actually held or shot a Garand? The whole can’t be topped off myth was created by game designers trying to force multiplayer weapon balance. You can in fact discharge a partially spent Garand clip, that’s what the button on the side of the receiver just left of the bolt does, hold the bolt back and press the button to eject. You can also hold the bolt back and insert single rounds to top off. It is true that it’s easier to shoot a Garand empty and then reload, but then it always is with all firearms because in real life extractors don’t know when not to fling an unfired round into the dirt and magazines don’t magically refill themselves from a single pool of ammunition.
