You shoot until the threat is stopped whether that is 1 round or 50 rounds

This is proper individual combat tactics. You don't "waste" rounds during an active fight, but you don't reserve them, either. You certainly don't save rounds for threats that haven't materialized. We'll deal with that when it comes. But you finish the fight you have with the ammo you have.

It is an art to balance your ammo supply, hit probability and even suppressive fire needs, but it is an important balance. Important enough to take seriously.
