Switch between normal and enhanced fire
Reinforced fire with a one-handed sword can be fired at any time when the sword is drawn, just as with normal fire. Reinforced fire can be fired by switching to the slinger stance when drawing the sword. When the sword is surrendered, it switches to a normal shot.
