I don't agree with this. Sure, you may not know the exact amount left, but you would have a good idea. In WWII the training may not have been as thorough as it is today, but an M16 mag holds 30 rounds, and riflemen (an oxymoron considering they carry a machine gun) are trained to fire in 3-5 round bursts. Keeping track of bursts isn't very difficult. In the more recent model of M16, which has a 3 round burst selector, this burst is managed by the weapon.

Only in the most frenzied of firefights would it be difficult to keep a fairly accurate estimate of your remaining ammo. And in similar conditions in MOH:AA, I'm not looking at the ammo meter.

Still, there are many other things that would have to change in order to get MOH:AA to be *realistic,* before anything as picky as ammo count would help.
it's also a nice trick to put a tracer round in as your 4th (before last) round.
