Flexible Weaponry

Prerequisites: martial level 2, proficiency with at least one Loading & Reload weapon
You can use a Loading or Reload weapon as a crude club. It is a simple melee weapon with the Finesse property that deals 1d4 bludgeoning damage on a hit. If you hit a creature with a melee attack roll using a Loading or Reload weapon, that creature can’t make opportunity attacks against you until the start of its next turn.

Hyper Focus

As a bonus action, you can steady your body and mind to give yourself advantage on the next attack roll you make with a Loading or Reload weapon this turn.

Speed Loader

Superior Strikes; Loading & Reload

Prerequisites: martial level 6, a tier 1 Loading & Reload advanced technique
You can perform a superior strike with any weapon that has the Loading & Reload property.

Tier 3 Advanced Techniques.

Steady Loader

Prerequisites: martial level 10, a tier 2 Loading & Reload advanced technique
When you take the Attack action, you can choose to make only one attack with a Loading or Reload weapon with that action. If you do so, the critical hit threshold for that attack is reduced by 1 for each attack you could've normally made with that action. For example, if you normally score a critical hit on a roll of 19-20 and can attack twice when you take the Attack action, you score a critical hit on a roll of 17-20 when using this mastery

Twin Load

Prerequisites: martial level 10, a tier 2 Loading & Reload advanced technique
Once per turn, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of the attacks you can make as part of that action to load a second piece of ammunition. If the next attack you make with that weapon hits, your attack deals extra damage equal to your weapon’s damage die plus your proficiency bonus. This technique can’t be used with Ammunition’s Double Load.

Tier 4 Advanced Techniques.

Dead-Eye

Prerequisites: martial level 14, a tier 3 Loading & Reload advanced technique
The critical hit threshold for attack rolls you make with Loading or Reload weapons is reduced by 1.

Quick Shot

Prerequisites: martial level 14, a tier 3 Loading & Reload advanced technique
After you take the Attack action and only attack with a Loading or Reload weapon, you can make one attack with that weapon as a bonus action that turn. You don’t add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative.
