How much of the fighting do players do with an empty weapon?

Ammo that is too scarce turns a shooter into a chore, and too plentiful removes every decision. This entry shows how to measure the time spent in a fight with nothing to shoot, using samples that have gaps.

Why this works

Running dry is tension in small doses and a broken game in large ones. Weighing each reading by the time it covers, and ignoring long gaps where nothing was seen, measures how much of the real fighting happens empty-handed.

When not to use it

Does not fit games where weapons are unlimited or melee is the main way to fight. There, limit something else, such as cooldowns or stamina, and measure how often that runs out.
