Tavor vs AR-15: Speed Reloads.

I remember seeing a video of Travis Haley doing a reload with a Tavor, after a couple of reps he was, well, Travis Haley, but with a Tavor. The more I see of the Tavor, the more I think it's the best bull pup ever designed, and one of the top service rifles ever built.

Maybe the best bullpup available in Canada
 
Fast reloads are one thing but hitting the target is another and we all know the Tavor can't touch an AR in accuracy. :stirthepot2:

I really don't see why this is so important anyway, the time to reload is pretty quick with whatever platform you practice with and unless you are competing at a very high level or someone is shooting back at you this is kind of a pointless p!ss!ng contest.

It's good to see that with some practice a guy can overcome the perception that reloading a bullpup is slower than a conventional style rifle though. It all comes back to what was said earlier, it comes down to the user and practice.

All instructors I have dealt with say you need to figure out why the gun stopped going bang before you drop the mag and jam a new one in.

I often see other shooters check if they're clear when dropping a mag, but I have always been in the habit of round counting. If I load 5, and hear 5 bangs, I swap mags and keep going. Not being a competition shooter, and not receiving any formal training, is there any problems with this practice? (Keep in mind, this is moreso target practice.. not any sort of a stressful scenario)

Plinking is plinking, you could single feed rnds and if having fun still be doing it right.
But if you have any intention of pushing the rifle there are reasons for doing things, and while you can get away with shortcuts you will end up paying for them in the end. I used to think I could count rounds but when pushed I have found that with full capacity mags and stress you can forget about counting to any accuracy. If you want to see an example of training for failure take 20 live rnds and 2 dummy rnds. Randomly load 5 mags , mix them up, stick them in your vest and try to run drills, doubles, failure drills ect. Reset and try running them with someone else calling the drills. I have seen pretty much every stoppage imaginable and proper drills will get the shooter through stoppages quickly, efficiently and consistently.
 
Counting is OK for 5 round mags. It even works for ten round mags (sometimes...), but for 30 round mags with US shooters - I doubt most people would easily count 30 rounds and not somehow lose some concentration on the actual shooting. Plus, I can't count that high anyways - what's after eleven-teen btw??? ;) ;)
