FYI This has nothing to do with the spears% run that turned out to be illegitimate.
After doing attempts of the category I've learned how easy it is to accidentally fire the gun when you don't mean to. Emptying your mag during npc downtime is already allowed and recommended, but we also decided that it would make sense to allow runners to save, quit, and reload the stage from their last checkpoint in the event that they do accidentally fire the gun at an enemy or other interactable thing. This makes it to where you don't have to reset after one human error that's easy to make, and the run is still technically completed with only spears.
Hopefully this will make other people that are looking into our categories feel less daunted when they read the requirements of the run and do attempts of their own.
