Hello. I am adding a new laser weapon to the game, and I need aid. I want for it to be able to not use a UPS to draw power from, rather storing all needed power within itself, recharged via a hand crank. Is this possible?

Also, can “clip\_size”: , be used for laser weaponry?

I think the pneumatic rifle does something similar.

Where, in the raws, can it be found?

The Cataclysm++ mod adds a similar item called the Survivor’s Crank Rifle but it basically is a low power laser rifle that doesn’t need to be recharged (infinite ammo). Also there’s already a [hand-crank charger](https://cdda-trunk.chezzo.com/hand_crank_charger) in the game that… charges batteries but it takes AGES to reload a heavy battery fully.
