I generally think the BIS anims are too "static". I mean, you will usually rotate the weapon sideways to see where you put the magazine in. Most of the time, the BIS anims just keep it straight and level. EDIT: just checked them, it's mostly the older weapons, the newer ones like the SMG's are much better.
The magazine movement, as I said, is very limited. I have proposed a way to animate the magazine by a proxy in the ManSkeleton (see here and please vote up ) but so far, not noticed *sigh*
The crux of this is also that the two reload anims for standing/crouched and prone need to match, since the magazine movement is a function of the weapon, not of the anim, and always the same. It also means that the M203 reload doesn't open the breech, and in fact, if you look closely, you'll see the magazine slide out and magically reappear even if you are reloading the GL (both on my and BIS' weapons).
I don't need luck, I have ammo.
