	Taking a reaction shot on Suppression does not deduct additional ammo on top of what was already 'paid'.

To think of it another way, two volleys is how much is needed for a long-term suppression, but if they provoke Overwatch, you'll instead use some of the ammo to shoot them and then end the suppression. Therefore you can take a reaction shot on suppression even if suppressing used the last of your ammo.

	Suppression allows you to pin down a target that you can't immediately kill, reducing its ability to hurt your soldiers. You can then get your people to [[Cover (EU2012)\|cover]], or attempt to [[Flanking_(EU2012)\|flank]] the alien. Suppressive fire sometimes destroys the enemy's cover, which may allow another soldier better line of fire on the alien, and tying it together with Holo-Targeting (a passive [[Heavy (EU2012)\|Heavy]] ability that adds +10 Aim to anyone firing on units he shots at that turn) and / or Flush (an [[Assault (EU2012)\|Assault]] attack that forces the target to move whether it connects or not) can allow for quick decimation of your target.
