[Suggestion] Single load "magazine" mechanic.
« on: October 26, 2018, 07:40:26 am »
So currently shotgun and revolver reloads are a little unrealistic, you must unload a shotgun completely to reload. I was thinking, what if SELECT types of magazines (lever actions, pump actions, cylinder loading guns, ect) Loaded one round at a time? Perhaps keep for instance, a standard 6 shell shotgun have the same ammo, but instead of reloading all 6 for a huge cost, enable loading just 1 for a smaller cost, like 7 - 10 tus?

This would enable a few things. First, you could have more unwieldy guns (loading a cylinder grenade launcher slower, but enabling flexibility, juggling shotgun shells to shoot) and possibly, having guns with limited capacity, but larger ammo? (imagine a pellet gun, with a tin of 50 shots, but you load 1 at a time).

Could be interesting for variance, and I don't think would be too difficult.

Also, it could make single / double loads much less clumbsy (double barrel, and nitro express come to mind) by having "handfuls" of ammo, but single loads, so an entire unit of double barrel could be for instance, 4 shots at 3 weight, with a max loaded capacity of 2, yet you can carry more shells without needing a ton of space (currently double barrel has incredibly bad ammo capacity for carry, since a belt only carries 12 rounds, and this could double it to 24. It doesn't make sense a double barrel would have bulkier ammo despite being a similar type.)

As well, weapons like the pellet gun in piratez, and I think single load guns could have more convenient 3 shot ammo, without necessarily needing clumsy slow shooting, since you could have clumsy slow reloading 1 at a time, without needing slow shooting for balance.
