No.

Does your Glock have a display for how many rounds are left? No.

Only the weapons that specifically mention it have such a feature.

To you second question Its never come up but if it did I wouldn't mess with it.

Some people put a tracer round for their last or second to last round in the magazine.

Doesnt work so well with energy weapons or railguns for that matter since they dont use an explosion to shoot the projectile.

Obviously :)

I was referring to weapons like the Glock that you mentioned.

Can you change the colour shot by an energy gun?

You could add an audio indicator, such as a click, maybe?

This has never come up and I am just pulling stuff out of the air..

I'd personally modify my weapons so that, once the e-clip is empty, a flag with the word "BANG!" pops out of the barrel. :D

Um, more like the last 3-5 rounds are tracers.
