If we add "+ / -" contact in the mag weel and on the top of the mag, then the push-pin when empty will connect those 2 electrodes that send and info to the MicroCPU "hey, stop firing, no bb's left!" But we do need the do the mods on each of our mags.

I just opened a mag 1 hour ago and began some drawings. it's just theorical, but logicly doable. I'm not particulary good explaining, but I'll test it in the next days (without MicroCPU). Programming is not my strengh.

If I can, I'll take some pictures of the work.
Easier way would be to have reed contacts inside the feed nozzle of the hop-up. When a BB is inside the nozzle, contacts close and gun can fire. No BB means open contacts and gun is shut out from firing. You just need to make sure you use mags that feed fully, and not leave 2 or 3 BBs in the nozzle.

Or you can try installing the contacts as low as possible in the nozzle to make sure they miss those last couple of BBs.
