It is indeed, but a layman might not understand that. Reload time is correct (10 seconds), so it's just a case of fixing the code.

Reload time is not correct, this should be about a minute per round.
See https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/balance-pneumatic-weapons/14488/35?u=kevin.granade for rationale.

Oh I didn't even consider the pneumatic side of the helsing. I assumed it had a built it pump similar to how the one in Metro did. If that were the case, reload speed would be affected by the diameter and length of the pump piston.

Wonder if I could design a speed loader that has bolts and an air tank pre-pressurized and just needing to be screwed into the assembly. Trade weight and volume in the backpack to get the reloading of the actual bolt driver down to 10-15 seconds, and keep the speed loaders with a high reload time.

@kasanryukin I like that idea a lot. Being able to make the trade-off between reload time and portability is a fun choice to make.
