The act of a Shootdodge is essentially a dive used to evade enemy attacks by moving quickly and becoming a more difficult target to hit, performed by pressing the Shootdodge key while your character is moving. Shootdodging also automatically reloads your equipped weapon(s). This can be exploited to nearly double a weapon's magazine capacity without having to reload; Max can fire 29 rounds with a Kalashnikov, then perform a Shootdodge, instantly giving him access to 30 more rounds. This tactic is not as important in Max Payne 2 due to Bullet Time reloading feature.
