This spell allows you to load your pistol or crossbow without use of your hands. This spells does not produce ammunition, which must be on your person, and does not speed the time it takes to reload, but it does so without costing you any action to reload the weapon. Any checks to reload must still be made and reloading in melee still cause an attack of opportunity.

By casting this spell on a pistol, a gun mage could fire that pistol, then fire a different pistol the next round while the spell reloads the first pistol, and then fire the reloaded pistol the following round. This spell is generally cast on a single pistol or crossbow before combat and the concentration maintained as long as possible.
