In general, it is possible to do actions that require more HP then you currently have. Using items, reloading, using skills. They all can be done while having not enough AP available. However, when doing so, you will enter negative AP. While having negative AP, you can't do anything. Not even run or walk. You can however not shoot if you do not have sufficient AP to do so.
