## About The Pull Request
Thermal pistols now can be 'cranked' in order to reload them, similar to
a smoothbore disabler. Each 'crank' recharges one shot out of 8 shots.
And by crank, I mean you SPIN THE GUN. In order to spin guns, you need a
holster. So, without a holster, you can't utilize this mechanic of the
pistols.
(Also they're more accurate while dual-wielded hoo haa)
Thermal pistol crates are now slightly more expensive, at 2000 credits.
(is this even a balancing point now that we have stocks?)
## Why It's Good For The Game
People really liked what was going on in this [PR with the gun flipping
resulting in a
reload](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/76076). However, it
was...maybe a little too strong.
As a more middle ground approach, the gun crank component was a
particularly helpful addition to the game that allows for things
like...slow bullet-by-bullet reloading of even energy weapons.
