## 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.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Thermal pistols can now be 'cranked' to recharge shots. You
must have a holster equipped in order to utilize this feature. Also,
they have a tighter dual-wield cone.
balance: Thermal pistol crates are now 2000 credits, up from 1400
credits.

Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward it's arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.
