The firing rate of the Mercury bow is the second slowest (1/5 secs) after the [[Screaming Cannon]] (1/10 secs). This is justified by the "technology" used in the weapon: the new "arrow" has to be frozen before it can be shot. The trick of quickly dropping and picking up the weapon is at its most useful for the Mercury Bow: cooldown times are reset for unheld weapons allowing you to fire the bow as fast as you can press '''drop''', '''swap'''. The cooldown before a reload can be skipped in the same way, but the reloading still takes time. Alternatively, you can use the '''roughjustice''' cheat, which increases the rate of fire to 3 shots in 2 seconds. | The firing rate of the Mercury bow is the second slowest (1/5 secs) after the [[Screaming Cannon]] (1/10 secs).

As far as Oni's ammunition system goes, it is hard to explain (without pushing the in-universe explanation) what mercury doses (or grenades) have to do with the "blank bullets" supposedly encased in the generic red ammo clips. At any rate, 2 mercury doses = 4 grenades = 10 Campbell Equalizer shots = 30 Black Adder shots = 5 Scram missile packs. 2 shots per clip is the lowest capacity in Oni; like the cooldown time, it is probably a gameplay choice to compensate for the reliable accuracy and large amount damage. | As far as Oni's ammunition system goes, it is hard to explain (without pushing the in-universe explanation) what mercury doses (or grenades) have to do with the "blank bullets" supposedly encased in the generic red ammo clips.
