[QUOTE="Tetsubo, post: 58297, member: 1250"] Well, if you use paper cartidges you might speed that up just a bit. A paper cartidge has the bullet, wadding and powder in one easy to use paper container. So having it take a full round to reload would be fairly reasonable. Especially considering that D&D isn't the most realistic of gaming systems. :) But this is a great reason to have double barreled or multi-barreled weapons. And revolvers did exist in the time period you are basing your weapons on. They were rare of course but PC's can afford rare. There's also the combination weapon option.
