Well, no, there's nothing that actually forces people to not poke their heads out and shoot back in the face of suppressive fire.

Assuming they've not been stunned by the fright check, pass the will check to expose themselves from cover, and don't actually get taken out by any of the bullets.

Suppression isn't a guarantee. It's mostly a strong encouragement to stay down.
