Why Do NPCs Get Unlimited Ammo?

[Draft Lottery 72]

I heard an NPC with a improvised rifle shoot, reload and shoot, for 5 minutes straight.
It's not fair. Another one had me pinned down, so I waited to see if he would run out of ammo. Nope, didn't happen.

so they can drop a lot of ammo... wait........

Are there games where NPC run out of ammo?

ARMED ASSAULT, Battletech, Counterstrike Bots (ever since 1.6), any Quake / UnrealTournament Botfest, Bots in the original modded Halo:CE, Dwarf Fortress, Jagged Alliance 2 1.13, maybe more.

Its not common but it exists, and esp. in a survival game it should be "equal rights equal fights".

I get that the devs think that any sort of achievement is worth punishing, and that the vision entails the fact that players shall not be rewarded by killing enemies that want to kill them, but there is no sense in the fact that NPCs dont drop their loot 90% of the time, and that the loot is nearly fully broken 100% of the time.

The only reason is hatred towards the players, and malice.

@Bnn1 - No one ever talks about J.A. 2 except in the Bear's Pit. Made me smile and brought back memories of Shadow, Igor, Ivan, Tex, Mike, Ice, Fidel, Buns, Fox, Lynx, Magic, Wolf, Vicki, Ira, Dedrianna and her man slave. Thanks for bringing that game up, I think it was a small community even back in the day.

Sorry this adds nothing to OP subject. Yeah, the dev's should give us a metal funnel so when they keep shooting at us we can just collect all the ammo and shoot it right back at em'.

Fair point.
