Something else no one's mentioned yet is the fact that you're being melee'd.
Every gun takes x-amount of time to aim, regardless of how close the hostiles are, and when you get hit, the counter essentially resets. So if someone's hitting Jimmy Dean with a club, Jimmy Dean isn't shooting - he's just getting the hell beat out of him. On top of that, if Pork'n'Beans is shooting at the hostile that's attacking Jimmy Dean, there's a decent chance that he's also going to hit Jimmy Dean, too.
So, as nuschler suggested, you'll want a defensive line. If that, for some reason, fails or you're being mortared, just be ready to multi-task - if Jimmy Dean is being or about to be melee'd, try to keep him moving while Pork'n'Beans shoots at the hostile pursuing Jimmy, but try to make sure the path Jimmy Dean takes keeps him out of fire.
