Autoloaders +1?

In fact many auto loading systems( pretty much anything over 40mm as far as I know) didn't have detachable magazines and were located away from the gun to save space inside the crew compartment. The Russian auto loaders had a carousel type magazine under the gun. In both cases you could reload the magazine with a shell in the chamber without worrying about recoil though equally true is the fact that doing so while in combat was imprudent for other reasons.

The_Chieftain:   This.   In most cases, they are not like magazines for small arms, the rounds are individually loaded into the revolver/carousel/conveyor. Although it may not be recommended for safety reasons, I can't see any mechanical reason why the chamber (or event r/c/c) must be empty before a reload process is started.
