I think you'd need to make a more expensive and complex lightgun if you wanted to better simulate reloading, just making it a button to press and that's it isn't all that much better than the pedal.

It'd be fun to think about though. Picture it, a lightgun which has two 'magazines,' for the reload you press the magazine release and the current one is allowed to drop free, and then you insert the other magazine to load. They'd have some simple sensors or circuit closing so they know which magazine you're currently using, and you'd want a fairly robust plastic, maybe with a rubber coated floorplate to protect the bottom for free dropping, and whatever you might drop the magazine on. It'd be cool to add a recoiling slide to that too, primarily to make it lock open on empty to give an immediate tactile feeling that you need to reload.
It'd probably save a lot of time and effort to use a soft airgun as a base and convert into this.

Better visual demonstration actually.
