Comment by Its_Me on Arcane Sniper - Chapter 113

@Its_Me  it’s a musket technically and muskets take around a minute to reload. Even though this musket is closer to a bolt action rifle in appearance, the Mc has to deal with long reload speeds to compensate for his overwhelming attack damag

@Random commenter but he's not using the combat assistance system so isn't it just relying on his physical abilities?

@Aiden Furry  That also contributes to why the reload is long. He’s not getting any system support but in return, because of his combat training, he can pretty much guide the shot where he needs to hit.

Chances are with system assist (at least from FPS games I played with an auto assist feature) reload could be faster, but he doesn’t want to risk a half chance miss rate.

If I remember right, he managed to shorten the reload time from practicing the activity in game to ~20 seconds, but it hasn’t been brought up since he inherited Elizabeth’s musket.

Not sure if the gun form changes the reload time (IRL it should, but it hasn’t been pointed out), but either way it’s still a long enough reload time he has to worry when multiple enemies close in on him

@Random commenter

He's using the Black Beth which is not a Musket but rather a Sniper Rifle as shown multiple times. It also has been shown that the Rounds he uses are not only Bullets rather than Ba*** but rather, he uses actual Magazines, so for someone like him who was a Highly Skilled Sniper, Combat Trained in the Army, he should be capable of actively reloading a Mag within Ten Seconds and that's being generous, Three to Five Seconds would be more likely.
