war isnt a video game…
if you change out mags when its only partially empty you put it somewhere so that you’ll know its half emtpy or what not but still available. for empty mags you try to hold on to them but if your moving through a building and you drop it your not gonna take the time to pick it up.

You should never leave unused ammo unsecured. A lot of the M4s and M16s we sent to the Iraq Army and Police are unaccounted for. Those, and plenty of other compatible weapons which fire the same 5.56 rounds are easily obtainable by the enemy.

In the field when you switch out a magazine that has been partially emptied you try to save it in your ruck. When you are out of combat for a while you reload those partial mags. If you are moving too fast then the mags just fall where they are and are left there. Video games aren't anything like real life.
