Resilients

[thanatos]

I see your point, but I'd point you right back to that phrase "ANY time." The fact that the gun is being discarded immediately does not mean that it is an event that happens outside of time, just like the Meat Cleaver's bonus doesn't place it outside of time - it simply places it in time before the fight has a chance to resolve. The Meat Cleaver COULD be countered using Caught off Guard, though, even though it is a fight card, as its effects come into play before any dice are rolled.

FF tends to be very specific in their wording for a reason. If ammo did not apply to resilient, it would read something along the lines of "Any time a hero fails an ammo check, you may discard Ammo in place of the gun."

The fact that they simply said "ANY time" indicates that they fully meant for ammo to be an effective counter to resilient, just like Father Joseph's Strength of Spirit ability could negate Resilient as it was being played.
