Isn't that a group that the editors are always looking to save and protect, the unarmed, unarmored fleeing noob? Just as easily, every protection we have given "UUFN"s so far also attacks the idea of chasing someone in general, from not having player-level armors that increase speed, to the reload times of the go to mid-level metal, steel.

If you switch your tool from something that is reloading, then none of the effects of reloading is put against you. If you stop cranking back the gear in your crossbow to flash a knife at someone, you aren't still going to be completely occupied by reloading your crossbow.
