Reload
Overview
Unlike in Base JKA, you can't fire a weapon constantly until your total Ammo depletes. Each gun, and sometimes level of gun, has a different clip size. This determines how many times you can shoot until you have to reload. There is a specific key that you have to press to reload, which can be changed in the control options. Larger clip sizes are better, as reloading makes you vulnerable.
Reload time depends on the size of the clip with a few exceptions. Some weapons load faster than others, like pistols. Fully reloading a clone rifle, for example can take a while.
Reloading Strategies
When you reload, you can't shoot back. That means that you should reload at times and places that don't leave you open to attack. Most of the time, you should take cover or fall back around a corner when you are reloading. If you have to reload in the middle of a fight, you should do so frequently, so that the reloading doesn't take too long. Beware though, if they notice you are reloading all alone, they will take advantage of this.
Weapons that are exceptions
These weapons need to be reloaded after every shot:
