Self-explanatory, I crafted a Silver pistol and emptied it to double check to see if the right bullets will load in and they didn't, i pressed the reload keybind and it refuses to reload even with the appropriate ammo.

Can you please confirm the version of the mod and Minecraft you are on?

Sure thing, the version of HWG that's being used is Ver. 1.2.9 and the minecraft version is 1.19.2

Closing as per discord with cyber, that version is super super outdated.
