Uncorrection: Though the Heinlen bugs had ranged weapons, they're
tactics were still to close within very close range for overrun attacks.
There was never any mention in the book of them using fire and manuever
at all. In virtually every encounter they were on the move to grapple
with the troopers even if they used ranged weapons in conjunction with
the attack.
