    Searched and found nothing close to this. Well basically it would be a skill for all classes that allows you to reload your weapon at a faster pace. In CQC situations or 1v1 dueling this would be extremely useful as a skill as you could like take cover to quickly reload at attack either the vehicle or infantry you are shooting at or in 1v1 situations you both empty out your ammo from both your weapons and you are the only one with quick reload so you end up killing the enemy. Would also make the shotty pistol much more deadly as the guy reloads miserably slow compared to how a person in real life would reload the gun.

    Maybe you could also add a fast vehicle reload skill for the rifleman too if wanted.

    Thoughts?

    Would be nice for the scout. Don't buff the HMG; the roffle is fine. SMG2 has a nice clip already, and all SMGs have a short reload. This might make shotty pistol even worse. +1 Support as a gren though.

    Would require an animation change afaik, so it won't happen.

    What I mean is balance wise too. I was pretty sure you could just speed up reload animations but I'm not sure you could trigger that with a skill on this engine.

    Wouldn't you just need to increase the existing animation speed?

    Or have it as the aura the rifleman squad leader gives off.

    With work it's been proven possible to change animation speed on view models in gmod with lua, with code support it should be piss easy.

    It won't get done, because the devs have no-one who would know how to do this from the model side. So no, I'm still right, because it won't get done any time soon with the current devs.

    I'll admit, it sucks always being right. Means standards have to constantly be maintained.

    I can make the animation play faster. I don't know if I'd have exact control (EG: 1.3x, 1.2335x), but making it somewhat faster shouldn't be a problem.

    Yeah I just figured out how to. Anyone else can do it as well, it's just sliding a bar.

    Well, time to make yourself useful to the community for the first time ever. Try dropping the time it takes to reload the mortar, and give me the changed files I need to use it ingame. If it's easy to implement, then we might actually get the devs to go for this. I'll happily be wrong if that's the case.

    Another way of doing this would be as a skill upgrade which turns all your magazines into doubles, like the picture below.
    But then again, we would need a modeler for this to work with the BEAR having a drum magazine and also a new animation, but one can dream i guess.

    in that case, oh most mighty and worshipful PwnedYoAss, modeller of awe-inspiring models, why do you not offer most kindly to perform such a simplistic task, as well as model aircraft, fix the NF rax, model a new AFV, and fix the scout rifles?

    Oh wait.
