First of all the rep tool has a minute reactor inside providing a near as damn infinite supplymof energy.
(Think Iron Man, chest piece)
Secondly the reptool then creates a pool of self replicating nanites, these are effectively nanites that build more copies of themselves, they use the abundance of chemicals in the atmosphere to forge them out of whatever elements are necessary, it's possible to make the nanite using a seemingly single piece of metal.
Finally the leftover nanites are transported via the yellow beam directly on to the targets armour who focus on repairing, holes cracks and even microfractures just a few microns wode.
There would is literally be no reason for them to 'run out of ammo'.
The only plausible thing is that the reptool's transporting laser may over heat from excessive use which requires excess heat to be flushed from the system, less you risk warping the focusing crystal and breaking the thing entirely.

So much stupid, it's no wonder this game is terrible with such a community.
Because their is no reason to nerf it, your entire complaint stems from one guy 'purposefully' taking damage so his logi can get extra 25wp towards and orbital.
Which is having its WP requirement doubled!
Furthermore there is already a WP/minute cap to stop people from spamming nanohives and uplinks for more WP, if that logi is having to heal people purposefully damage themseleves for WP, he's not doing his job as a logi properly amd he would probably have a lot more WP if he did.
So your problem is actually something more subtle and it's because you don't like loosing your heavy to another heavy with a guy who's repping him constantly.
The reason you are getting Sci-fi answeres is because you based your reason for a nerf on the Repair gun as it being incapable of having an infinte supply which have been explained to you. It even explains it in the items description!
It's called teamwork, instead trying to nerf teamwork because you can't kill it with a gun, use some teamwork of your own.
