Imagine that you had a musket in real life, you would try to reload because it is what any gunner would do BUT if he is too close then you try to protect yourself with the bayonet. Charging to your death when you have the opportunity to reload is fool hardy. I'm just saying that they won't charge just because they missed, they would charge ONLY if they knew they couldn't reload but this varies from person to person. The different archetypes will probably have different behavior patterns according to the situation, where some charge some don't depending on the scenario. So expect challenging battles in AC III
