Rapid Reload

 is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

Effects
Rapid Reload allows you to reload all your weapons 25% faster than normal.

The perk is very useful at close range, when you don't have time to reload. In contrast, the perk is much less useful for players who enjoy taking out their enemies at long range, as you usually have a lot more time to reload. This perk is also quite useful for weapons such as revolvers (suggested by the picture), or must reload after each shot (such as the YCS/186 Gauss rifle).

Bugs

 * Might randomly stop having an effect, slowing down your reloads to normal speed. It can return upon changing weapons.
 * Weapons like the Cowboy Repeater and Lever-Action Shotgun sometimes have a period of time after reloading where you are unable to enter vats, open you Pip-boy, or change weapons. This is probably due to a discontinuity between the animation of the reloading and the amount of time it actually takes.
