I'm against rewriting the text, since it makes perfect sense to me, if I was
shooting a gun I'd keep firing until I either hit or run out of ammo, not
decide to fire 3 rounds and test my luck to see if I hit. IMO the footnote
would be better as a clarification. If I recall correctly, there are only a
handful of occurences (well 2 hands, less than 10?).

IMHO the footnote is better here. Whatever the solution, will it need to be
ported into the later books, where appropriate?
