I've never done that. if for some reason I can't hit something I usually slow down and try to figure out why. There's always a reason and it's never found in an empty mag.

I don't think that the larger capacity firearms give the impression that there are enough rounds to make up for sloppy marksmanship. At least not with me. I still view the firearm as something that if I have to use it I need to be efficient with it for any number of reasons.

I do empty magazines rapidly from time to time but that is to practice control and to see if the gun can perform under those conditions. I do this very rarely though as I don't see much practical call for ever having to do so.
