My players and I have a bit of an issue with how easy it is to reload certain weapons, and I wanted to get some thoughts from the community.
The first issue are black power weapons. Perhaps someone more steeped in the lore can tell me exactly what the tech level for these weapons is, but I always imagined them as being un-rifled muzzle loaders that require multiple steps to reload (like those from the American Revolution or early U.S. Civil War). At best these would be paper cartridges with flint-lock priming rather than a percussion cap, so it would take time.
The other issue being crossbows (non-repeating). In order to reload on you need to drop it to your foot (generally), use that to anchor it so you can pull cock it, then bring it up and place the bolt in firing position. In our minds this should take more than a single maneuver to accomplish.
We are probably going to house-rule it, but I wondered if others had done so as well.
