Gun Rammer
The equipment that shortens reload time, and the first thing fitted on almost any vehicle with a conventional gun.
Also known as rammer, gun rammer.
A rammer takes roughly a tenth off the reload, which flows straight into DPM. Nothing else on the firepower side gives that much for one slot, which is why a build without one usually has a reason.
It does nothing for a magazine gun's intra-clip time, only for the full reload, and autoloaders therefore gain less from it than a single-shot gun of the same calibre.
