Get verb mysteriously stopped working... in Developer Help

The get verb used to work all fine and dandy, but just recently, it quit working on me. If the gun is already in my inventory, it adds the ammo like it should, but if the gun is not in my inventory, it does nothing.
                Get()
                    set src in oview(0)
                    for(var/obj/Weapon/Deringer/D in usr.contents)
                        if(!D)
                            if(Move(usr))
                                usr << "You pick up the [src]"
                                return
                            else
                                usr << "You cannot pick up the [src]"
                                return
                        D.maxclip += rand(1,10)
                        if(D.maxclip >= 16)
                            D.maxclip = 15
                        del(src)
                        return

You've got all your code inside that for() loop, when what you need to do is do the loop first, then do the src.Move(usr) bit if there wasn't a gun to reload (or there wasn't enough room left in the clip).

Also, the if(!D) part will never execute.

Here's what you need instead:
obj/item/ammo
  var/guntype
  var/ammo

  Get()
    if(!usr.Enter(src) || !loc.Exit(src))
      usr << "You can't pick up [src]."
      return
    for(var/obj/item/Weapon/W in usr)
      if(!istype(W, guntype)) continue
      if(W.ammo < W.maxammo)
        var/fill = min(W.maxammo - W.ammo, ammo)
        W.ammo += fill
        if(fill >= ammo) del(src)   // verb stops here
        ammo -= fill
    // some ammo is left
    var/obj/item/ammo/A = locate(type) in usr
    if(A)
      A.ammo += ammo
      del(src)
    loc = usr

Well, what's wierd about it is that it worked peachy until yesterday, then bam; Get doesn't work. But yours does, thanks for the help.
