1:34:21 Fable 2 actually DOES have an active reload mechanic, it's just not well known. When you unlock Chain Attacks, it'll mention that attempting to fire again when you begin to reload will instantly fire your weapon. If you try and shoot again too early, or too late after your hand reaches your weapon, you won't instantly fire. This makes the Flintlock Pistol not only the hardest hitting pistol type, but also the fastest pistol type when shots are properly timed to your reload.
