Imagine if the cops had to make do with muzzle loaders like in Disco Elysium.

Then you end up with the criminals, 12 cops, and 8 civilians dead.

None of them were using muzzle loaders. The death toll and injury count would have been drastically lower if it took roughly 30 seconds to a minute to reload the guns per shot.

It wasn't the cops that shot civilians, take 30 seconds to skim the page.
