: Ok, this is kind of a long shot, but like we see in the animation, there is
: NOTHING that indicates the shells being placed into the shotgun. (well i
: haven't looked at it very well but this is by memory) nor any
: auto-reloading mechanism. unless he got some Equalibrium loading
: mechanism, (that's a movie, and they had some nice mechanical arms to
: reload their guns, hehe) But what if the shots actually get teleported
: into the gun? I mean from what i can see the teleportation system was
: pretty advanced on the marathon so this is at least a possibility. if the
: player had some minor teleportation equipment in his suit. The only thing
: that points against this (well at least the only thing i can think of) is
: that there is no teleportation sound when you reload your shotgun :P
I like that explanation. It sure makes sense when Durandal tells us that we couldn't appreciate the majesty of the simple reloading mechanism that was centuries in the making.
