I recently had a bewildering discussion with my GM that ultimately ended in argument. I'm not trying to go into every detail but I haven't seen this brought up before anywhere so I figured I'd ask her.

Does using reinforced stock on a loaded crossbow unload the bold in the crossbow?

As far as I can tell I don't think it does as all the rules I can find on the reinforced stock and crossbows don't mention anything about loosing a loaded bolt. From what I can gather if it was the case wouldn't it makes the reinforced stock feature useless?

From what I gather there isn't any way a loaded crossbow in Pathfinder 2e gets unloaded without firing or being damaged/destroyed.

This new rule came up in conversation arbitrarily after I had repeatedly used the reinforced stock as I understood it written for several sessions over the course of a year.

So is the bolt supposed to fall out during use or did my GM just mistake his understanding of crossbows as the in-game rules for crossbows?
