"Which is why it's totally fine to just say "it has this much ammo, can be shot this often, and takes about this long to reload". That's it"
That is to much information in my opinion and it doesn't matter in the confines of a fight. Having to write, "And then I reloaded" has no bearing on the writing of a story, offers no narrative benefit to the owner of the character and offers no narrative restriction to the opponent. If the opponent wants the gun to run out of ammo, they can just DO that.
Basically all of those details are... pointless. THey mean literally nothing in the course of writing a story. They are details that could be completely ignored and it would have little to no bearing on a fight.
As far as the "who would win" aspect of fight: Oh trust me, I know. I've been involved in some of the largest fights the site has seen, and we used those rules. And all that minutia? It didn't matter
