I've looked high and low throughout SR3, but the cost and description of
a speed loader are nowhere to be found. This was something that irritated
the absolute hell out of me in Second Edition and I assumed FASA would have
fixed up the problem before releasing SR3.
Don't get me wrong, I know what a Speed Loader is, what it's used for,
and roughly how much it should cost. It just annoys me that it isn't listed
(from what I can see anyway). If you can point out the description/listing
for speed loader I'd be eternally grateful (but don't point me to page 280
- that's not a description or a listing it's a table showing what type of
action it takes to reload various weapons).

I never noticed this before, so i just checked, heres a quote -
"The presence of a speed loader (see Firearm Accessories, p. 240)..."
(BTW: this is SRII)
So i flick out to page 240, and look for speed loader, and it's not
there!!!

Might i ask what cost you gave to this item? I've never thought much
about it and would like to know what people who know what they're
talking about think about the price.

Well speed loaders are a dime a dozen - they're nothing much more than a
molded piece of plastic. I figure they're about the same cost as a spare
clip. Call it 5 nuyen, street index of 0.75, and all the rest.

According to Chameleon, at 7:51 on 21 Sep 98, the word on the street was...

I'd just give them the same stats as ammo clips.

I just used the "Clip" cost (5 Nuyen) and say it's a speed loader.
It's not really 'missing' if you consider that option.
