The standard pistol is described as “slow to reload.”  The Hound’s “sharpshooter” ability is described partly as “You can quickly draw and reload your weapons.”

That is the only mention of reloading in the entirety of the quickstart rules, besides the dual pistols.

Am I supposed to take it that it takes a turn to reload?  Although that doesn’t make much sense, since everything is reactive to players and there is no roll to reload.  If not, then what is the advantage of a 2nd pistol, or a fine “pair of pistols”?

How do you handle it as players/GM?  Do you handle it at all?

Heavy weapons. So what’s the point in taking a heavy weapon that uses up more of your load? I understand the gameplay effect of “Fine” weapons and items, but I couldn’t find anything in the rulebook that distinguishes between normal weapons and heavy weapons. Is it just for narrative purposes? Just to be able to say you have a larger weapon, on the off chance that somehow helps out? Because if so, that seems like a rather sketchy benefit.

I have a question about the new Assassins crew I was hoping to get clarified.

Am I correct in believing that the “Crow’s Veil” crew special ability renders the “Hagfish Farm” claim redundant?
