Line 6:
In most video games however, even otherwise "realistic" ones, ''every'' firearm behaves as though it were open bolt in regards to chambered rounds. Your maximum capacity will always be the magazine capacity and the reload animation will always feature characters manually cambering a new round, even when not reloading from empty. The only common exceptions are firearms that are actually open bolt, and those that do not feed from detachable magazines including shotguns (both pump action and break action, but not magazine fed), belt feds, grenade launchers, single shot firearms and revolvers, which don't have to deal with +1 in the first place or in the case of pump action shotguns have a separate problem of being given the +1 capacity without actually having to chamber a round.
