Could an adrenalin rush bring a downed soldier back up?
Like if a soldier was shot a few times, could adrenalin stop him from going into shock and will allow him to shoot a few more times or crawl back to safety?

shot a few times? what? like all "flesh wounds" in the movies where getting shot doesn't hurt at all?
Getting shot HURTS.........every time. Nerves are severed, bones can sometimes shatter, vital organs punctured and ruptured.....arteries hit, and you bleed out, .........you'd have to be the luckiest b*stard in the world to get shot "several times" and think you are getting back up to join the fight.
Of course, if they really ARE all just flesh wounds and nicks.....you could probably still get some shots off.
People HAVE been shot multiple times and lived......eventually, .....but that was after massive surgical intervention and long recoveries.

They would die in minutes. IF anybody is shot. It is imperative that they get plasma to offset the shock and loss of blood. Adrenalin will only cause the heart to pump faster and they'll bleed out. GSW to the extremities(arm, certain parts of the legs)NORMALLY is not fatal. And that person can still function to a certain extent in MOST cases.
You have got to understand the kinetic energy that a body will receive from a GSW. It is akin to a sledge hammer being slammed into your body by a body builder. The shock of that is enough to incapacitate you.
There are only two of us in this section that have been wounded in combat. I can't speak for the other user. But I was picked up(wearing a 50 pound ruck)and thrown back around five feet. Knocking the breathe out of me(I thought I was going to die)and stunning me so much I couldn't move.

If someone was shot a few times and they had a shot of adrenaline they would very quickly bleed out unless the wounds had pressure applied (or they were just flesh wounds). Their heart rate would rocket and their blood pressure along with it. Not a good idea. A person would very quickly become disorientated and pass out if too much blood is lost. This could be anywhere from a minute to just a few minutes, depending on where they were shot. It's worth noting that after being shot, the adrenal glands would be pumping out adrenaline like the clappers anyway.
