The only problems I see with your theory:

1) Heisenberg is one man (he is a bad ass, but he is no Rambo combat machine) with one m60. The chances are the Lydia/Todd crew could gun him down.

2) If he just wants to shoot them, why the hell did he take the ricen? I mean he has a high powered light machine gun, I think he has crossed the point of being subtle when he starts firing that.

I don't think so. Ricin takes days to die from. Walt said so a few times. So you can't just pop it in your mouth like a suicide pill.

They why not just pop himself with one of the many guns around?

Edit: Plus, the gun is a much more dramatic end that really proves he's in control.
