Hmmm... the only problem would be that the gun would have to have a way of
knowing what type of ammo you've loaded. Now, I can't see the gun being able
to examine the bullet, so that leaves two ways of identifying the ammo type:
1) smart clips, that can talk to the gun and tell it what type of ammo it
thinks it is loaded with.

2) the user of the gun sends a mental command to the gun while he/she is
inserting the ammo. I'd say that, with a bit of practise, this would be an
automatic reflex of loading the ammo. As an Evil GM, however, I might be
inclined to ask for dice rolls to make sure the PC gets the right type of
ammo, or if they are not familiar with the protocol of the smart gun.
