Remember that combat exchanges are fairly abstract in time and can potentially be minutes long. One attack doesn't necessarily mean one shot, anymore than it means one swing of the sword.
A combat exchange might involve firing six times, fumbling in your pocket for more ammo, and firing another couple of times, all in a single Guns roll. Or it could be you waving the Winchester around, trying to draw a bead, failing to get a clean shot, and not firing at all in the context of a failed Guns roll.
