Yes, you have to fire off all 8 rounds in the garand to reload.

You don't
have to fire off all of the rounds to reload the weapon, lets say there are 3 ****** behind a hedgerow and you have 2 bullets left in the weapon. You can simply pull back the charging handle, press the clip release and insert a fresh enbloc clip in to the weapon's magazine.
If you don't believe me, let me give you a common sense question anybody can understand. If you can't reload the weapon or clear it WITHOUT firing all of the 8rnds, how is a soldier expected to clear a jam or remove faulty ammunition?
