Attempting a Rechargeable Plasma Rifle

Rechargeable Plasma Rifle
PROS
Recharges
Doesn't Overheat
CONS
Drains Shields during recharge
Short battery life (Maybe 100 shots until dead battery)
SNAGS
-I'll have to use magazines for it... not a physical mag, but the stuff under "magazines" in its tag. Does that mean I need reserve ammo to recharge it, or is there a flag I can set that allows it to reload without any reserve ammo? Or a flag that gives it infinite ammo?
-I'll have to make a custom magazine counter for it, but that's no big deal. I'll look for a tut, don't help me on this one.
-Debating on making it age... a battery can be recharged only so many times, right?
