i also thought of that but even so, when he got shot at, he deserves it for not following the instruction, hes too hot headed and impatient how tf can he be a great hunter without the supporter xD
i mean he already know how cruel the world is to him so why doesn't he learn xD
i believe it's a typo in the manga, cuz there were parts in the wn (haven't read in a while) where he's counting ammunition specifically for different parts (x shots here, y shots there)
From checking the JP, the 3 bullets left was a mistranslation. The original JP said something along the line of "I only have the time window for 3 shots"
If he doesnt trust anyone, he can just run. Before the bait, he even think he cant defeat 2 hunter. I know that will be a point to build trust but come on point blank shot only wound on the leg. I call that bullsh*t
