Instead of inserting a bullet into a gun when a bullet is not carried by the player:

Or perhaps reverse the order:

Instead of inserting a bullet into a gun when the player does not carry a bullet:

Instead of inserting a bullet into a gun when a bullet is not carried by the player:

Instead of inserting a bullet into a gun when the player does not carry a bullet:
