I just had an idea... if you press the reload button and the rifle isn't empty and the round in the chamber is spent, it should pull the bolt back a little way, see the round, then close it again. Only if you push the reload button again at that point will it start reloading. If you have no rounds or the cartridge is spent, it just reloads as usual. This way you can use the reload mechanic to at least check to see if you have a loaded live round, and the worst that can happen is you have to reload after the next shot if you are surprised.
I like this idea
