After each shot that is. Instead there is a magic semi-auto bolt slide and cooldown bar on the GUI.

There is animation in the game for reload when player pulls the bolt changes mag and then pushes the bolt back. Why not skip mag part and have pull and push bolt played after each shot instead of the firing delay?

1. The animation is there.
2. It would substitute virtual cooldown making it more realistic.
3. It would make it more immersive.
