yup - reliability was a mechanic in DeadLands that was cut for HoE. 
basically, a piece of equipment COULD have a reliability rating (normal 
pistols, rifle etc would not have one, mad science or cheapo gear 
would.) the reliability rating would be less than 20 - the lower the 
worse (typically around 18-19, any worse would be REAL BAD). Each time 
you used the afflicted equipment you would also roll 1d20, any roll 
greater than the reliability rating indicated a malfunction.

i guess you could re-instate it - i fiugre it was cut to let combat run 
quicker.

one potion re the shotgun rounds we be to say that any botch whilst 
using the modified ammo would reflect that the ammo being used was 
dangerous ie blow the sucker up !

less die rollin', more explodin' pc's - my kind of rule :)
