I don't see the problem with the magsec.

As for the bolt pistol, it really doesn't need charge between each shot -and- fire delay added on. A mechanic I'd prefer to see is having the charge front-loaded with no fire delay. Essentially, the weapon passively charges itself up whether the trigger is held down or not. When the gauge reaches maximum, it can be fired once, then the gauge will zero out and it will fill up again for another 0.4 seconds, then it can be fired again.

So whilst running around your bolt pistol is at full charge, then when you have an engagement...

*fire* --> 0.4 second charge time --> *fire* --> 0.4 second charge time --> *fire* --> 0.4 second charge time, etc.

As a precision weapon, I don't think the bolt pistol needs the handicap that the charge time gives it.

I proposes this mechanism before the bold was even released and no one payed me any mind. As to magsec - it is just uncontrollable and is used as a pay n pray gun nowdays.

A pay and prey? Is that like evangelism in America then? "Pay unto the bucket child so that thy gods hear thee!"
