 +Firearm Basics: 
 + 
 +One Handed firearms take a Half Action to Reload, are used in one hand, can be fired in melee and Grapple at no penalty and do  not provoke attacks of opportunity doing so.  
 + 
 +Two handed firearms take a Full Action to Reload, are used in two hands and if fired in melee they provoke attacks of Opportunity. They can not be fired in a Grapple. 
 + 
 +Heavy Firearms take a Full Round Action to Reload and are used in two hands. However they require either being Prone, mounted on a fixed point or using a Half action to "Brace" the weapon. The weapon stays braced until the character moves.  If none of these are met the attacker takes a -4 on all attack rolls. If fired in melee they provoke attacks of Opportunity. They can not be fired in a Grapple.
