Too much movement back on the arms, pistols do muzzle flip more than a backwards recoil. Mag out is really wonky and unconvincing. Too much finger movement. Finger should come off the trigger before mag out. He's doing nothing to release th mag at all. The sideways fling looks really bad, too. Nobody reloads like that. The slide needs to stay back after it fires, not return to origin, then the slide comes back, that's not how guns work and it looks extremely bad because it's nonsense. Please don't try to simulate the MW AR reload where he pulls the mag from his vest. The arm movement to reach for another clip is just bad. Seriously get rid of the finger wiggle all together, just make the finger come off the trigger and thumb come up. You need to at least hint that a mag release button is being pushed before the mag falls out (which it should just be assisted with a shake if it doesn't just fall out, get rid of that fling that stops so robotically), and need to hint that a slide release is being flicked.
The mag in is good...until you do this half-ass thing where it looks like he's tapping the bottom of the mag but then at the same time putting his left hand back on the pistol. There's where it falls apart again. Don't care about the video, I don't care how bungie did it or how it looks like bungie did it, you need to learn a bit more about how guns and gunplay work before setting off to do animations.
E: also, return to origin after the recoil is WAY too slow.
