The rules we have are that you don't have to attack a kneeling figure that is adjacent to a suppressing fig. Other than that, the idea of crawling under suppression gets tricky, especially indoors.  The moving fig would need comms with the suppressing fig, or they would have to otherwise be warned that a friendly was going low across your line of fire.  Difficult to coordinate.
I am for just saying it can't be done.

Having said that, in Planetstorm it becomes more flexible.  For ON GUARD '90 the engineers prepared a live fire assault course for the commandos to run through.  Having set it up, we had to test it.  One portion involved involved a river assault and we had Cougar AFVs behind us firing their GPMGs over our heads as we paddled across to the other side.  They were on a hill, which gave them an elliptical area to beat down rather than a cone from the muzzle. It's pretty wild seeing the tracers zipping by over your shoulder.
It's even more wilder and more intense, when you have grenades and live rounds coming back at you.

Freedom is the right to speak your mind.

It is also the right to walk away from those you don't want to listen to.
