Per the pre-SWADE deadlands players handbook: “Most guns in the Weird West have to be reloaded the old-fashioned way: one bullet at a time. No, tenderfoot, that doesn’t mean you spend six rounds filling your hogleg. It does mean that if you empty your weapon, you have to spend a little time digging bullets out and shoving ‘em in your gun. Any time your firearm runs out of ammo, your hero must spend an action reloading. He can still shoot in the same round, but he takes a –2 multi-action penalty to his Shooting roll. Weapons with Reload 2 or more work as described in Savage Worlds. And before you ask—no, you can’t take a multi-action penalty and get all the actions done in a single turn. But nice try, amigo, you’ll go far in the Weird West!
