If it was me (although I can’t think why it would be me) it would be shotgun, for the entire team. All pump actions, and the drill will be carry with the breach open (slide back), push slide forward and fire when target sighted, then immediately pull back the slide and keep it there until next target sighted. This would minimize the friendly fire causalities that would be much more prevalent for any team of screw up amateurs I’d be with, then hostile fire causalities cause by failing to fire quick enough. Also, select fire carbines are especially bad weapons for untrained and under trained fighters; they tend to panic squeeze the trigger when in auto, and waste the whole magazine firing into the sky, their foot, their buddies, etc. That is when they remember to take it off safe.
Gee, who's the CO of your CQB squad, Barney Fife?
Maybe it's just me, but the inference I drew was that these would be trained operators. You don't lead untrained people into a CQB situation unless out of necessity, which is where your weapons would be drawn from. With untrained civilians, the logical option is exfil from the hot AO. Use of IED's to cover one's retreat to the RP would slow any pursuit, buying much needed time and distance.
