Gunslinger and Rapid reload


Rules Questions


I have been looking at previous threads but most don't cover this.
I have 1 attack and 1 pistol...
Round 1... My pistol is already loaded and I fire.
Round 2 ... does the rapid reload allow me to Reload and fire again since it takes a move action?


Yes... Why not?

Round 1:
Standard action to fire.
Move action to reload.
Round 2:
Standard action to fire.
Move action to reload.

Round 1:
Standard action to fire.
Move into better position. Or just waste move action. Or if its surprise round and you dont have a move action.
Round 2:
Move action to reload.
Standard action to fire.


Thank you
