Because, really, counting bullets? That is not even a thing for Rex.
Granted, the gun was an automatic rather than a revolver and Rex could tell that the gun was empty due to subtle shifts in how the man held it, thus coming to understand that the gun was lighter because it no longer had any bullets in the clip, but even so – this is merely an afternoon’s work for Rex the motherfucking Wonder Dog.

Wouldn’t the gun get progressively lighter with each shot fired?
I assumed Rex used his superlative hearing to detect that the miniscule “click” of a new bullet being chambered was absent.
Seriously, though, where was Rex last night when we needed him most?? (grabs mike as per President in Superman II) REX, WHERE ARE YOUUUUU?!???!!!!!
Naa, forget the weight of the gun. Rex has memorized all the Jane’s guide information and stats on every gun and piece of military hardware ever made. He knows the mook is out of ammo because that particular model of automatic only holds 6 rounds.
Or:
Rex simply TELLS guns when they are out of ammo, and they obey.
Sorry, but Batman has him beat on counting bullets.
What kind of automatic only has 6 rounds?
Fuck YOU, Punisher.
The Tokarev TT 33 was a standart soviet military issue up to the early 60’s with 8 round magazine. Some soldiers used to load only 6 to 7 rounds due to its tendency to jam when firing the full magazine. It also lacked a trigger blocking safety, so the shooter may have accidently fired a couple of shots before encountering Rex.
The gun wasn’t out of bullets. The gun was afraid of Rex the motherfucking wonder dog.
I’m not sure why Rex is going on about guns and shots when upon closer inspection, he is clearly fighting Li’l Cyclops of the Mini-Sized X-Men.
He alwys counts the bullets.
He gots’ta know.
He counts bullets to occupy his time until he is ready to bring the BEATDOWN on some moron who is stupid enough to actually fire at him.
It would have been unsportsmanlike for Rex to have not allowed those six shots to be fired.
unsportsdoglike
As I’ve said before, you need at least a nuke to hunt Wonder Dogs. You’ll still lose, but at least you’ll make Rex sweat a little before he mauls you.
@Onion: Who do you think *taught* Batman how to do that? The Motherfucking Wonder Dog! 😉
Is Rex training an Ent, by the way?

Seriously – after the above link – you think gun owners would have learned….
Thok:
Even nukes wouldn’t make Rex sweat. Think Saint of Killers from Preacher Vol. 6.
(For those who haven’t read it, they drop a nuclear warhead on him. He strolls casually out of the fireball, spits, and declares simply, “Not enough gun.”)
One of the bonus scenes on the Indiana Jone and the Crystal Skull DVD is the deleted scene where we see that the reason why Indie was able to survive the nuclear blast inside a fridge was because Rex was on the outside, using the fridge to surf the firestorm.
The relaxed, composed expression on Rex’s face said it all. Tongue out, no sign of stress, just another workout with an evildoer wielding a gun. Rex isn’t fully running: that pose, leg up, idly stretching his body forward, no urgency at all.
Rex is probably going to wonder next if the gunman will beg for mercy, or if the gunman will try with the knife next. Rex LOVES a good workout against a knife…
Fun fact: Sean Connery based his characterisation of James Bond on past encounters with Rex the Wonder Dog (they used to get drunk and pee on monuments together back in the 1950s, when Sean was a sailor and Rex was orchestrating the CIA’s secret war against the White Martians).
He had the idea of adopting certain of Rex’s mannerisms (along with his accent — Rex may be a Motherfucking Wonder Dog, but his voicebox is still canine) after reading the “you’ve had your shix” line in the script for Dr No.
