This attack can be used to perform a ranged shot that quickly loads the
ammo and shoots the target.
Players do not need to arm their ranged weapon before using a quickshot.
Also, players do not need to have their ammo in their inventory; they can
take their ammo directly from a container.
Performing a quick shot has various disadvantages:
- Deals less damage, and is less precise, than the 'shoot' command.
- Drains a substantial amount of movement points.
- Must use the '<target>' option (unlike the 'shoot' command which can be
non-targeted).
- The player will have substantial lag after the shot (unlike the 'shoot'
command, which produces no lag).
Syntax example: "quickshot arrow from quiver 2.east dummy"
Will take the arrow from the quiver and shoot it at the dummy, two rooms
to the east.
Syntax example: "quickshot bolt west dummy"
Will shoot the arrow at the dummy, one room to the west, using a bolt
in player's inventory.
