Rapid Reload, Variant (3.5e Feat)

3e Summary::You know how to reduce the time it takes you to reload a weapon that you are proficient with.

Prerequisite: Weapon Proficiency (ranged weapon with a reload time).

Benefit: With this feat, weapons that normally take a move action to reload now take a free action and weapons that normally take a standard or full-round action to reload now take a move action. Any weapons that provoked an attack of opportunity still do so. If you have selected this feat for a weapon that normally takes a move action to reload, you may fire that weapon as many times in a full attack action as you could attack if you were using a bow.

Special: This feat only applies to weapons you are proficient with. A fighter may select Rapid Reload as one of his fighter bonus feats.
