A lot of time they just do a Texas reload when the camera looks away from the actor firing

The norm seems to be that they just reload between takes, but don't show the actor doing it. The best example I can think of is in "Pulp Fiction", when you see Mr. Pink's S&W's slide lock back, and then in the next shot, he's still shooting as if nothing happened. Sound editing can also play a part. Watch "Die Hard 2" - when John McClane shoots the last terrorist on the skywalk, you see his Beretta empty, but you hear one more gunshot on the soundtrack, which was added in by the folly editor. Something similar happens in "Red Dawn".

Yeah, I hate that last one.
I know it's hard to reset scenes, but I think it would be worth it so you don't have a guy firing two shots with a jammed gun or something. Course, it would be interesting if you just had your actors clear the jams in real time, would add a little pizzaz to firefights. But, do blanks jam a lot more than real bullets?

Yes, for sure, blanks jam more than live rounds
Challenged,
There are several good previous posts on why blank firing guns jam more than guns firing live rounds

Heh, just noticed that you spelled "foley" editor as "folly."
I see what you did there.

Not quite Nazi, that's for nit-picky small details.
Getting Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs mixed up is a HUGE detail. Although, they do sort of blend together. Have you seen a Tarantino film that wasn't like all the other Tarantino films?

Well the man seems to have a 70s theme to his films.
