why are pistols so slow to reload with build 250.

I'm not sure if its an intended effect, but it seems reloading the pistol is much slower in build 250, as compared to 249, and this is extremely frustrating.

    Yes, its frustrating when you're used to the ns2 pistol (me included). Most of the subjective annoyance however has got to do with how the animation has just been slowed down, instead of replaced with a properly fitting animation.

    Objectively speaking, it reloaded too fast previously and was op in that regard. Right now its between ns1 and ns2 reload speed. Pistol just needs a reload animation that feels 'snappier' and i'm certain perceived frustration issues will go away.

    You swap to the pistol faster now, and as of recent the "slow firing" pistol issue was 'semi-fixed' you should be able to fire the pistol much faster now by clicking, however it seems to vary and randomly not fire as fast as you click (maybe it's a framerate related issue, maybe not)

    If you click really really fast, then the pistol won't be able to keep up with it; not sure what it is but the general goal was to stop scripting/macro or what not

    So firing speed isn't much of an issue anymore after that fix! But I do too hate the reload speed

    Stop making sense. Change is bad and kills puppies.

    That animation is really out of place in this game.
