I will post updates to the rules here:

From March 16:
RULES ALERT:  Because we are into a reloading issue, let me restate the GURPS rules for reloading (for Codec and Jade at the moment).

Remember first that one turn equals one second, and you are preparing for three seconds every post during combat, so it may be more turns for seconds you are in focus speed.

Each "turn," you can perform one "maneuver."  Maneuvers are listed here:  http://www.fortunecity.com/riv.../693/matrix/id37.htm

Note that some maneuvers take more than one second.

RELOADING From page 96 of the Basic Rules:
For replaceable magazines in a magazine gun (like the M-16's), it takes 3 seconds (one to prepare, one to acquire, and one to insert).

Integral magazines and revolvers are different.  Ask if you need to know.

If you have the "Fast Draw" skill, then it can speed reloading (see pg. 50).  This would fall under the "Fast Draw: Speedloader" skill.  (Note: I think this was taken out of the 4th edition, if you are using those rules.)

And don't forget about the Aim maneuver to avoid aiming penalties.

From March 27:

RULES UPDATE
I got some advice on the fast draw maneuver based on the rule I posted above:

The Speed Load skill cuts the time to actually load rounds into a magazine -- putting bullets into the gun.

The Fast Draw skill (in particular, Fast Draw: Magazine) would be used for getting the magazine from your person to the gun.

So a successful roll for each of these would cut the reloading process by one second each.

Hypnotism: Mental/Hard No default
This is the skill of affecting another mind through verbal and mechanical means.  ONce hypnotized an individual will be extremely suggestible.  Roll a contest of Hypnotism skill vs. the victim's Will-1 for each command that is given.  Any command that threatens the victim's life or loved ones will be resisted at +4 to his Will.  The effects of hypnotism last 1d nhours unless terminated sooner.

Post hypnotic suggestions may also be given, instructing the victim to do something long afterward.  Normally at +1 to victim's Will for each full week of delay.

First attempt takes 5 seconds.  If fails but subject is cooperative, can make second attempt at -5.  If that fails, cannot hypnotize him that day.  Should victim resist hypnotism deliberately, a Contest of Skills is made: Hypnotism Skill vs. the patient (will +3).

A successful H roll gives +2 to any use of Surgery skill, being a quick and safe anesthetic.  Successful hypnotism also puts a subject to sleep, and can thus be used as an attack, though only against one person at a time.  A successful Hypnotism roll can also help the subject remember something he forgot.

List of Maneuvers:

Arm or Wrist Lock (average)  Def: Judo or Wrestling


Back Kick (Hard)  Def: Karate-4 or Kicking -2
     Prereq: Karate, cannot exceed karate skill level

Breakfall (Average)  Def: Judo or Acrobatics
     Prereq: Judo

Choke Hold (Hard)  Def: Judo-2 or Wrestling -3

Close Combat (Average)  Def:  Any close combat weapon skill-2 or other weapon skill -6
     Prereq:  Weap skill; must specialize; cannot exceed prereq sk lvl or skill-3 for long weapons

Disarm (Hard)  Def: DX, Judo or Weapon skill
  Allows unarmed man to take attacker's weapon.  The defender must have successfully parried the weapon attack, or must grab the weapon arm, as per p. B111, substituting disarming for DX.  On the next turn, a Quick Contest betw Disarming and DX is necessary to remove the weapon.  A failure means the attacker keeps the weapon; crit failure means hit on the hand!  For weapons with disarming capability, replace Disarm with appropriate weapon skill.
   Can also use Arm or Wrist Lock to disarm.

Dual Weapon Attack (Hard)  Def: Combat skill-4.
     Prereq: Any one handed combat skill; must specialize; cannot exceed sk lvl

Elbow Strike (Average)  Def:  Karate-2
     Prereq:  Karate; cannot exceed karate sk lvl

    Prereq: Combat skill; must specialize; cannot exceed prereq skl lvl+4

Ground Fighting (Hard)  Def: Combat skill -4
     Prereq: Any Combat/Weapon Skill; must spec; cannot exceed prereq sk lvl

Head Lock (Hard)  Def:  Judo-4 or Wrestling-4
     Prereq: Judo or Wrestling; cannot exceed prereq lvl
     This attack consists of putting the target's head in a lock, similar to a choke hold, but holidng it in such a way that the target can be thrown while using the neck as the axis of the throw - which will almost certainly break the target's neck.  After Grappling the foe, the attacker must roll against Head Lock to grab the neck (the target can make any Active Defense against this; PD does not protect).  On a success, the target's head has been put in a lock.
     The following round, the attacker can try to either Choke the victim (treat as normal Strangling roll), or he can throw him; the throw is resolved as a Quick Contest between the attacker's Judo or Wrestling skill and the defender's ST, DX, Judo or Wrestling, whichever is highest.  If the attacker wins,the target takes swing damage (plus a bonus equal to 1/8 Wrestling or Judo skill) to the neck, which is multiplied by 1.5.  If defender wins or ties, no dmg is taken and the victim can try to Break Free.
     See Neck Snap maneuver for lasting effects of neck damage.
