These sorts of interactions aren’t new, but they are done very well in Fracked. Similarly, reloading the SMG means sliding a new mag in, and then actioning the bolt on the side to release it. Reloading the pistol means sliding another magazine into the well, then gripping and pulling the slide to release it.
