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.
Overlaps with [[Right-Handed Left-Handed Guns]] and [[One Bullet Clips]]. Often combined with [[Dramatic Gun Cock]] to use the same error twice but in reverse. For every gun having the safety problems typical of simpler open bolt designs see [[Reliably Unreliable Guns]].

* ''[[Crysis]] 2''
* ''[[Metro 2033 (video game)|Metro 2033]]'' plays this straight, however its [[Updated Rerelease]] ''Metro Redux'' fixes it.
* While earlier ''[[Battlefield (series)|Battlefield]]'' games feature this problem, the third game onward avoids it.
* ''[[Far Cry]] 4'' includes this... except for the pump shotgun, which has the correct capacity and is +1ed correctly when reloading as the player character will load one, pump then load the rest. ''Far Cry 5'' continues this, though changes the animation to inserting the shell directly into the chamber to make what is going on clearer to people who have never touched a firearm. This detail is very strangely juxtaposed next to wildly incorrect models (some of which actually get worse as the series goes along), descriptions (Some as blatant as claiming a 1924 gun hasn't changed since [[World War I]]), handling and [[Improperly Placed Firearms|placement]] for everything else.
* ''[[Tom Clancy's The Division]] 2'' inverts this. Open bolt firearms and even ''revolvers'' can be loaded to +1 capacity.
