Was thinking that reloading times are sometimes low, more like a delay than tactically important - something that may possibly give your enemy an edge, a window of opportunity (isn't that why soldiers tend to shout about doing reloading so their comrades protect them?). Now I know the game is far from realism, but RL can still serve as an inspiration.
So first of all I would like to suggest revolvers having much bigger reload times than semi-auto pistols (see Patriot).
Secondary, reloading times all over the board can go up (to be more comparable with shooting times, add variety, etc.).
An example of changes:
Semi-auto pistols: 2-3 AP -> 3-4 AP
Revolvers: 3 AP -> 6 AP
Shotguns: 3-4 AP -> 4-5 AP
SMGs: 4 AP -> 4-5 AP
Precision Rifles 4 AP -> 7 AP
Assault Rifles 4 AP -> 6 AP
Would give poor pistols (aka a low base damage) a boost. A good weight capacity then also plays a role because lets you carry around a second pre-loaded gun, etc. Exact numbers aren't so important. What wanted to say is that you can make something more impactful out of reloading.

It's certainly something will be looking at, cheers!
