Old Stupid Soldiers.  If anything being shot at or actually being shot would 
make some one more likely to take cover.  It not like Someone thinks to 
himself "I've been shot before and didn't die so I'll just stand in front of 
a SMG".  Absolutely not.  More Likly the person is thinking "Gee, Last time 
I was shot it really hurt alot and I almost died, This time I'll take 
cover".

I'm not implying that you should have characters make a guts check everytime 
there shot at, but I think you should limit chips to players who don't take 
logical steps to stay out of danger.
