Bandolier functionality

So I ordered a bandolier in game and received it, and it seems kind of lacking in functionality right now. You can't barrage with hurled weapons, so I was hoping that the bandolier would add something like that to hurling. However, after playing around with the bandolier, I noticed that you can't barrage out of a bandolier, you can't gather knives to return to a bandolier, and you can't transfer knives from the ground to a bandolier.
So with the way it stands now, bandoliers appear to be a very RP-oriented item. Is there plans to increase bandolier functionality, such as allowing the person to barrage out of a bandolier?

There are plans to improve hurling usability overall, which will include using containers like bandoliers. Not high on the list, though, sadly.

I just found the throwing knives, in the Mummer Camp. I'd be very interested in seeing a functioning bandolier for them.

gather can now target weapons on the ground that you've set to auto-hurl.
gather hurled can be used to gather ALL weapons on the ground that a character has set to auto-hurl. This means it won't gather hurlable items if you haven't set them to auto-hurl at some point.
