Are they calculating how many romans would get killed before the marines ran out of ammunition? Besides marine carry knifes, and hand grenades. And marines have helmets, vests that may should stop a knife, camouflage, and could run faster. And they might carry climbing gear

You can't calculate like "if there are 1000 enemies, I need 1000 bullets" or something like that. Most fire is done to supress enemies, not to kill them, and most enemies flee when they got only a few losses or sometimes even before they got any losses. War is not about numbers, it's purely about morale.
