It is how your set up your fields of fire and specifically your Final Defensive Fire. Yes things can go to hell in short order. Also, you want to engage with all weapons at the maximum EFFECTIVE range. Keep them away from you as long as you can. Secondary positions and indirect fire help with both at range and close in.
