Sounds like it's time to upgrade/supplement door guns.

5.56 miniguns with night sights are a personal fave.

Wouldn't an automated defense turret or at least an optical scanner
that searched for weapons pointed at your craft be more useful?

Obvious defense: dozens of wooden AK-47s/dummies in the open, nowhere
near your troops, to make the auto system waste all of its ammo.

Also a good use for empty RPG launchers.
