Re: How do you perform a tactical reload on an AK?

Am I correct?
Also, are you saying you reload with your firing hand?
Assuming you're right handed:
Left hand grabs a new magazine beer can style
Slap it against your magazine in the AK
Use thumb to release that mag and take hold of both mags
Move your hand over and load new mag
Put used mag away somewhere
Continue shooting the American dogs

Also don't remove your half empty mag first. You might need that while you tac reload. Minimize the amount of time there isn't a loaded mag in your gun.
