Being under fire brings on an even greater adrenaline rush than thinking
you 
MIGHT get under fire. The amount of fire incoming will not drive you
deeper 
into the dirt, you get just as deep as you can! The only thing that is
likely 
to keep you down (if you have survived the burst of fire, that is) is 
SUSTAINED fire over your position. It's not quantity it is duration. I
think 
your single or double suppression is more than sufficient. If the fire
has 
been relieved and the grunt WANTS to move, he will - if only because
where he 
is has drawn fire, and where he might get to MIGHT not. It's a head
thing - 
but instinctual not reasoned.
