 * Loading and unloading ammo rounds now require time
 * Now, the character doesn't initially know the number of cartridges in the magazine. Check the magazine to see the ammo remaining. Check precision depends on the Mag Drills skill. A full description of the expected behavior can be found here
 * Time-consuming loading/unloading of ammo


 * Loading/unloading of ammo into the magazine does not happen instantly. The time required to load/unload one cartridge may vary depending on the magazine and the level of the new skill, Mag drills.
 * Time is spent on loading and unloading ammo in the raid only, in the menu the procedures stay the same as before.
 * Loading and unloading can only be done with inventory open. If you close it or switch tabs, loading or unloading is interrupted. The cartridges that were already loaded into the mag, stay in it (and vice versa in case of unloading).
 * Only one magazine can be loaded or unloaded simultaneously.
 * The Info window displays the loading/unloading and mag check speed bonus if it is not 0.
 * If you've started loading an empty mag, or unloading a full one, the precise number of rounds is displayed.
 * Checking mags, hidden precise number of cartridges in the magazine


 * By default, it is unknown how many cartridges are in the mag, if it is not examined (hereinafter referred to as "Unknown/Checked"). Mag counter displays an unknown number of cartridges. For example: (?/30)
 * Check accuracy is determined by new "Mag Drills" skill.
 * The magazine can be checked either by animation - Alt+T or through the interface by Right-clicking and selecting Check magazine.
 * If you checked the number on the 0 skill level, then it returns "~empty" - "<1/2" - "~1/2" - ">1/2" - "~full". As skill level 1 an approximate number will be shown. On level 2 - the precise amount of ammo will be provided.
 * Full and empty mags are considered to be checked.
 * All the magazines you take into the raid are checked automatically.
 * Loading/unloading a checked mag doesn't change the state, it remains checked.
 * After firing, the number of cartridges in the magazine become unknown.
 * Ammo check precision now depends on the Mag Drills skill, not on Weapon Mastering.
 * Outside of the raid, the number of cartridges is always displayed precisely.
 * If you have dropped a checked mag and picked it back up, it remains checked. If someone picked it up and dropped it again, it becomes unknown to you.

Checking the chamber

 * The chamber also requires checking. Only by animation using the key binding Shift + T.
 * If you load the cartridge into an unknown chamber, it automatically becomes checked.
 * If the shot was fired from a checked mag (first shot), the chamber remains checked. Otherwise, it becomes unknown as well.
 * New skill Mag Drills:
 * Speeds up ammo loading
 * Speeds up ammo unloading
 * Speeds up magazine checks in inventory
 * Elite levels allow you to automatically check the mag when you move it in inventory, and make loading even faster.
