Incorrect, due to rulings. (Also true on reprinted Ammo cards, due to card text, now.) "# Ammo (Dragon's Breath Rounds, Glaser Rounds, Manstopper Rounds) are played "before resolution of a gun's strike", not "when damage from a gun is being resolved". That is, it is played after the strike is announced, but before the strike resolution phase. [RTR 19990105]" They are habitually played at the same time as Wolf Claws et al would be habitually played. That is, during "Strike Declaration" but after the strikes themselves have been chosen. This is not during "Strike Resolution". You can, if you want, declare your strike and then, when your phase comes around to play a card (immediately, if the acting Meth, afterwards, if not), play it then. This might be useful if the reacting Methuselah sees "Aha! I'll take 3 damage, not the 2 I was thinking." (e.g. .44 Magnum with a Manstopper Rounds.) They might then decide "Oops, if I play Body Flare, I'll get torporised from that extra point, so I'll play something less dangerous instead." Waiting until afterwards - whilst possible - might not necessarily be in your best interests, as the acting Methuselah. (The reacting Methuselah would, of course, already be in the position of the acting Methuselah having chosen their strike, so only verbal - rather than physical card - discouragement could be used.) Corner cases, yes, but useful for seeing the difference in application. -- James Coupe PGP 0x5D623D5D Don't just clap. What's the use of that?
