You'll find these kinds of triggers in some UMS maps-- particularly realistic horror (such as Raccoon City) and GTA maps. It can be pretty frustrating to implement this instead of a real Ammo System because it doesn't actually detect when a player shoots, but when a player kills a unit.

Regardless, this system makes it so you have to watch your ammo gauge, because if you don't you'll be caught in some crossfire without any ammo. Usually you'll be shooting at units with one-shot kills (with notable exceptions) and no buildings. Note: You cannot completely disable a unit from firing at all because the player can manually firing by clicking on the attack button and clicking on the target (although with hyper triggers, it makes doing this much harder with most units). Most of the time, you should set it so that the minerals and the gas is their ammo gauge - Minerals for the ammo in their current clip, and gas for clips they have stored.

Ammo Triggers

Ammo Initialization

This makes it so that they'll have six shots to start off with, and 2 extra clips, meaning 18 shots.

Ammo Usage

There you go. This will take away ammo from the unit's ammo gauge.

Ammo Reload

You can take out the Wait trigger if you want. The Force 2 in the 2nd Set Alliance after the reload could be the enemies that you're firing at. Anyways, a player has to run out of ammo, doesn't he?

Out of Ammo

This is best used with Hyper Triggers.

Ammo Reload

And that's it. If you want to keep that location to always give the player ammo, preserve trigger.
