I think I will give this one a try as well as shooting into a melee seems to
be getting popular in our group.

Edge dose not help when lending AP so you are better off increasing your
skill.

No you only have one set of AP once its gone its gone. You could try for a
final action to try and recover some AP if you have a suitable skill.
Otherwise you are exhausted or the foe have manuvered so you cannot get a
shot etc.
