Pod Draw Drill
This is a fairly amusing reloading drill. If you find that your reload times aren’t what they ought to be, this drill just might help.
Firstly, this is pretty much in the style of an old Western draw. Stand the two players back to back, and then step away because things are about to get hostile. Make sure both players have completely empty hoppers.
You, as the official adjudicator, will count off paces, something like fifteen or so, depending on how panicked you want your guys to be when reloading. The fewer paces, the more stress they’re put under, and the faster their reload times will get.
After the end step, the players turn, and reload, and shoot as fast as possible. First one to get hit loses. Oh, and no ramping, because that could get ugly at five paces.

Sounds like fun
but what’s ramping?

Heh, ramping is when after a certain amount of clicks of the trigger in one second occur, the computer chip inside your gun takes over and forces it to shoot faster than your fingers can pull, and maintains the speed until your fingers stop moving.
