Gun Loading
I have simplified this:
All Cartridge Guns
A load action reloads these
Cap and Ball or Black Powder Muzzle Loaders
2 load actions reloads ONE BULLET. Thus a six shot cap and ball revolver would need 12 actions. Some cap and ball revolvers (Remingtons, LeMats) can actually be reloaded by replacing the cylinder with a pre loaded spare cylinder: it takes 2 load actions to do this instead, if you have one available.
TIME TAKEN TO RELOAD MAY NOT BE REDUCED BY DOUBLE ACTIONS ETC – ONLY THE SPEED LOAD (Cartridge and Cap/Ball guns) OR MUSKETEER (Black Powder) FEATS
