My problem with this kind of suggestion is that by adopting a rigid system like this, you only fence yourself in. By defining *exactly* what AP loss means in one context (ammo use), you make it harder to use the game mechanics with the freedom the designer intended.

It's a slippery simulationist slope that ends up somewhere like this:

Now, if that's where you *want* to be, fair play to ya!
