SxS fast loading technique?

Battler · May 9, 2003, 09:37 PM

Does anyone have a good technique for rapidly reloading a SxS with no ejectors (extractors only)?

This would include stuff like :tipping the barrels to drop out the spent shells? Stuffing in 2 shells at a time grabbed in a special manner?

This may sound dumb (probably not possible - I don't have a SxS yet but will shortly remedy) - I saw once in a space movie (set in "New Botany Bay") where an old soldier/cop had a dream of fumbling with shells, and used a 2-shell speedloader/"moon clip". Does such a thing exist?

thanks,
Battler.

Here's how I've done it.

After firing, turn the SxS over as the lever's thumbed. Pull on the barrels and let gravity help the initial impetus given by the extractors. Turn back over and reload. Sorry, no clips, TTBOMK.

HTH...

When I see Cowboy Action shooters doing their thing with side by sides, most of them hold two spare shells between the first and second and second and third fingers of the hand that's on the forearm; when they break the gun opem, they tip the breech straight down (barrels up in the air in front of them), and then they can stuff the other two in as the gun comes down again. HTH.

Play Doom and do what the guy does. Duh.

(I'd cite Marathon, where the player used two side-by-side shotguns at once, but that's too obscure a game)

yeah, but in marathon, the guy had two side by side lever action shotguns which somehow took ammo from the guys ammunition pouches without him having to do anything.

I am such a bungee first person shooter junkie.

It warms my heart to see another Marathon player here. The WSTE-M is the best FPS weapon ever. EVER.

i'm a second generation marathon guy, actually.

i got addicted to halo in all of its immense glory, and then discovered marathon through marathon.bungie.org.

it is my dream one day to own a warthog, a WSTE-M, and a mjollnir mark four.
