Could the speed loader just reduce reload times by 1?
Would that be hard to implement?
I always disliked the new X-Com's method of limited free reloads. They do that because they have a two action system. This game uses action points.
With the speed loader as it is, once you use it, it becomes useless (until the next battle I assume).
Unless the intent is that you equip it, reload and then switch it out for something else?
The speed loader picture there, suggests to me that it increases reload speed. Or rather, reduces the amount of time wasted during reload.
I'd like to put in a suggestion of having it do -1 AP to reload cost.
