This happens every time after you just joined the server. The problem is even ig you have spare 3 vertical slots in your vest/plate carrier pouch and a spare mag ofc (for example AUG A1 the short one, and 2 30rnd mags. one attachet to the weapon, second one in the pouch, and keep in mind 3 spare slots for realod). So, when you press and hold R afret you just emptied your mag in a firefight it won't reload. You have to go reload it manually via TAB, which takes hell of a time, plus keep in mind your in combat, after 4-5 hours of no contancts, with a character that 7+ days alive and has 1000+ km travelled. So if you alredy guessed this happened to me, I've been killed because of this delay. But if you unload it manually (before the firefight for example), it'll start to work, to reload it via hold R, but not sooner. This time I've forgot to do it as I just logged in and had to fight right away. If it was some other game - fine, but Dayz... You have to understand, when servers top ppl count is 20, and 10-12 avarage you won't have much action, not at all. But, if you have one, you'll remember it, plus not so many cheaters as om 30+ ppl online servers. This is all vanilla ofc, official without mods. This is crucial shit, sorry, "bug", you have to understand. It would be ok if I died because my out of the ass hands, that is fine, but this kind of bugs kills all the mood. So yea devs, think about it.

Sorry, I'm too mad right now, plus there is no guarantee you will even check it, sorry. But if you will it's pretty easy to recreate.
Event Timeline
I thought I cracked the sequence, but turned out I didn't. I tested it with AUG X (long one with scope rail), and it worked fine for it, reload every time you press/hold "R". Then I re-entered the serv after some time - it stopped to work. I had space for reload 60rnd stanag mag for AUG (6 slots), AUG X, and 2 60rnd mags, one in the weapon, other one in Press Vest as spare. So the first time it worked with press/hold "R", but it din't work 2nd time. I had to reload it manualy via tab (drag-n-drop), and that action gave me +1 for reload, I mean I coud reload it with press/hold "R" one more time, than I had to reload it manualy again to gain +1 press/hold "R" reload action, so you see. It worked like this for some time. Than I drove a car for about 30min and tried it one more time - it started to work normal again, unlimited amount of press/hold "R" reloads. Don't know what can cause it.
But it is possible to recreate this bug:
- Equip yourself with PlateCarrier+Pouches or Press Vest;
- Get AUR X + two 60 rnd Stanag mags;
- Load one mag into Aug and put the other one in the pouch / press vest;
- Make sure you have space for reload in the pouch / press vest (3x2 slots);
- Assign Aug to hotkey ("1" for example) and take it in the hands;
- Leave the server;
- Log back again (10-15 sec after logging out);
- Reload Aug (which you have in your hands from before) via press/hold "R";
- 1st reload had to be OK, but 2nd (or 3rd) won't go through (press/hold "R" won't work); - if it works anyway means you didn't recreate the bug this time, try same sequence, but with small aug and 2 30rnd aug mags, rest of the steps are similar
- If it didn't reload on the 2nd (or 3rd) time via press/hold "R", means you recreated the bug;
- Now it doesn't reload via press/hold "R", so reload it via TAB/drag-n-drop;
- Now after you did manual relod - reload it via press/hold "R" again - it has to reload it this one time, but after you need to provide "manual" reload to gain +1 via press/hold "R" reload and so on...
