If I recall correctly, this theme continues throughout the series. When
choosing the number of shots you get instant feedback as to the result (usually
a confirmation of the kill), so you should know how many shots are needed to
make the kill. The only break from this is when you are giving covering fire
in TOZ, you don't get a kill, but fire enough shots to stop someone killing
you. IMHO it's only this last case which really needs discussion.

I'm inclined to agree. The point seems to be: the more ammo you fire, the more
likely you are to hit; and there's no point in continuing to fire once you've
hit the target, as evidenced by its scream. So it's not a premeditated number
of
rounds you fire, it's a case of "keep firing 'til it's dead, or you run out, or
you decide to stop".
