Check that a player cannot run out of ammo before a mandatory fight is won

The gate opens only when four tough enemies are down. The player arrives with a handful of bullets after wasting the rest, and there is nothing left to finish the job. Here is how to estimate the shots a fight really needs and how much to top up.

Why this works

A fight is fair only if the player can be certain to have enough to win it. Counting the worst case, with misses, and trusting only what is guaranteed, never what might drop, shows the gap before a player falls into it.

When not to use it

It is not needed when the player always has an unlimited weapon, such as a melee attack, or when the shortage is the point, like a survival game. There let the player be short and give them another way out.
