Oh Yuck
Not really impressed. Broke several rules of survival several times. Perhaps there are/were specific range rules in play, butt ..... Never, Ever, break cover and move with an empty or even nearly empty long gun. Reload first. Reloading from a cartridge belt is slow and cumbersome. While you're pulling cartridges, pull several at the same time. Then run. Never, Ever, holster an empty handgun.
I'll grant, there are Phules whom see the 1911 cocked and locked as a hazard, but it was in fact designed to be that way. Always READY. In a fight, if you need your handgun, you need it really really bad and right freeking NOW.
I am NOT opinionated. Humpff
