Reload Speed

Reload Speed or, more accurately, Reload Time, is the amount of time it takes to reload a weapon. It also influences the amount of time it takes to "swap in" a weapon.

Reload Spped made its appearance on weapon cards in Borderlands 2. This stat was not visible in the original Borderlands, leaving players forced to test their guns. As of Borderlands 2, Reload Speed appears on the weapon cards.

As rule of thumb, the bigger the magazine a weapon has, the longer the reload time. There are other factors of course, in particular the overall weapon type, the stock (or lack thereof), and the manufacturer.
