Whenever I have needed to do anything scripts related based on current weapon ammo I have just used a timer that fires off very rapidly (resetting it each time it fires) and used the scripts API to check the current bullet count. It's not the most efficient thing in the world but you can detect reloads by seeing when the bullet count increases from the previous check. If the weapon doesn't fire bullets more rapidly than your timer you can also determine if it was a manual reload (previous bullet count >1) or an automatic one.

It's not a bad way by any means (yeah it would be if we had hooks but we don't), you'd have to be on a really shitty server before a timer with a delay of 0.1 looping though 127 playerIDs (1 - 127) ever has any real impact.
