I had a similar idea that I never quite finsihed. Out of curiosuty did you have several items and combos per weapons. Heres how I did it:

Unloaded Magazine + 17 Rounds = Loaded Magazine
Loaded Magazine + Empty Gun = Loaded Gun
Shoot 17 times and you get Empty Gun + Unloaded Magazine.

I also considered having a reloading bench and the gun dropped brass of the floor when you fired, so if you dared to go back and pick it up you could add powder and make bullets. It turned out I was too lazy :).

No, but that was part of it (the magazine part). The "loading" was done automatically when you fired a weapon (using a variable that kept track of how many bullets was in the gun).

Dropping shells is an interesting idea. Hmm. I could probably add in an actual ejection of the shells... Create a projectile... To the right of the character... Fired upward, but then make it drop very quickly... On impact with ground spawn a spent cartridge....

Hmm.

That would be a cool effect.
