hey - crank in reverse!
I third this request. I get the thought process behind what you are saying, but I find myself cranking non-stop anyways because I will forcibly empty my clip just so I can reload and have a full clip ready for the next wave. I guess it is a force of habit growing up playing House of the Dead. I found that if I did not force empty my gun to reload before the next wave showed up, that I would be reloading mid-shootout and getting hit more often. This may be what you intended, but I found that I got better scores when I emptied my gun and had a full clip ready. Great game, really enjoying it. Keep it up.
