When you fire an empty gun, the game makes you reload next. It's pretty convenient sometimes. It really wants you to reload, though. It doesn't really care what gun it is. As long as it can be reloaded, you can say goodbye to that clip of yours. If you drop your weapon and pick it back up, it will be reloaded. If you switch to a gun that's missing any ammo at all, it will be reloaded. Your weapon drawing animation will be a little bit funny sometimes, too. All in all, the reload feature is a bloodthirsty ammo killer and I don't think this is on purpose.

Here's some video evidence. Note that the only time I pressed reload was when I was emptying my revolver:

Discovered in Pre-Alpha 1.9.3

Fixed after Pre-Alpha 1.9.3.
Changing weapon will stop the auto-reload feature (but activates again once you try to shoot with an empty weapon).
