Reloading the Jackhammer

[spaghettiandsauce]

Possibly I'm missing something, but it looks like you have to unbolt and detach the butt stock, the cocking lever and the lever that holds the magazine, replace the magazine, then screw all the parts back in, *every* time you want to reload.

That seems unbelievable dumb. Who the hell is going to want a gun that needs to be dismantled with tools every ten shots? Especially one designed as a tactical weapon. Presumably the guy who designed it wasn't a complete idiot, so what gives?

Only a few working prototypes of this gun were ever built, so it could be that the creator didn't fully figure out how to reload the gun yet

However, in payday 2 you just sort of twist the mag until it pops out or something idk

Yup. As far as I'm aware, only one (1) functioning example of this firearm exists, and it's an early prototype. Presumably, had the design gone into full production revisions would have been made. As it is now, the gun exists only as a historical curiosity, albeit a popular one due to the look and name showing up in movies and video games.

I haven't unlocked it yet in WoG, so I can't have a look at it, but as the others have already pointed out, this might have been the case for one or some of the several prototypes that existed.

But since the gun has gone through military trials, which means it has been seriously considered as an option, I don't believe that this was the final design.

Btw, here is a pretty comprehensive review of the gun: Forgotten Weapons - Pancor Jackhammer

Yup, same for the first Far Cry, most games screw up in this area when it comes to the details...

Really? Is there anything else different than just the barrel or..?

Huh. I must say I think the Goliath is more of a combination

I don't own Payday 2, but from what I can see from the pictures, the Goliath 12G seems to be a direct copy of the Six12. I mean, the Six12 may borrow some concepts from the Jackhammer, but I don't see anything from the Jackhammer at the Goliath that is not already part of the Six12.

I'm no weapons expert so I just googled six12 and the body looked completely different

[Wanderer]

Hm... maybe you saw a modified version?
Given the first few seconds of this video about the Goliath 12G and the pictures on the official six12 webpage[six12.com] I'm having a hard time spotting any differences (apart from the version with the wooden stock).
