"I spray bullets at the opposition. I bid [large number] APs."
[roll dice, consult tables]
"You're shots go wild, you're out of APs, and therefore out of ammo. The other guys take advantage of your lack of firepower to advance on your position, and you now have a gun pointed at your head..."
APs always measure how likely you are to win the contest - running out of bullets ain't a good place to be...
