The one that comes to my mind is the situation in which you're replacing
mags during a fight.  If you choose your time appropriately, you still
have a round ready to go while the gun is (partially) disassembled, so
if someone surprises you on the flank (or if you drop your next clip
while wetting your pants), you at least have something to throw at them
besides the gun itself.
