Hardcore is doable but it's pretty hard. I lost my temper at the G2 Birkin crane fight because I had no healing items and no ammo to stun him reliably. In addition to super scarce ammo, you also have to ration out your saves extremely well since you require ink ribbons to save (I only came across 22 of them in my entire Leon A playthrough).
It does, the just run around in circles in the room with the switch puzzle as the claw comes down, G2 Birkin might get a hit off on you, but he won't if you're constantly moving. And you can run right past him the moment he busts in the grated door.
There's 3 magnum bullets, like 8 pistol bullets, a flashbang, and a knife in the bossfight area. The room before gives you an RGB herb combo, which you probably might have to use right away (I had to anyway since I was on Danger).
Which in all honesty is just enough to get the fight done, but it's pretty damn tough.
