Ah, I remember why I don't like AoB...

rchandra:
dropping your armor where you stand might work.  One square NE would be safer but I don't think they'll be able to see that one, the angle is pretty steep.

One other barrel option: explode the wall where they are and perhaps the one on the east side of the room, immediately moving to the north wall out of sight.  they should move eastward, letting you escape.  (all 4 non-wall barrels can be moved into that room - this also gives you the option to use a chain reaction, detonating their wall without being in sight of the enemies)

basic melee assembly is more powerful than chainsaw, isn't it? except that it can't be further modded.
More reliable berserk makes the mid and late games much fairer.

I came down the stairs on the topright box, and burnt through all of my medikits being pushed around by shotguns.  That, and the previous floor had a shotgun guy in a narrow corridor that I took huge damage from. 

I guess I don't like how luck-based shotgun guys make AoB.  </rage>

Is it true that AoB has been made easier?  And what do I do in situations like these?

1)Drop any item where you stand, preferably the armor.
2)Drop any second item where you stand. Due to DoomRL engine, it will get moved into one of nearby unoccupied tiles, so with a little bit of luck, it will land to your left. This item must be a consumable, though. If it lands to the right, pick it up and drop it again over the armor.
3)Make one step SE.
4)Wait until formers start to come under your butchering hand.

StarStorm:
Heh, at that point, I just give it up as a bad job. It's fairly easy to just start again.

Nope. Chainsword has the same damage as a chainsaw. It's got +2 accuracy, but all reasonable AoB builds involve at least two levels of Brute. (I might be forgetting a swing time reduction that isn't documented on the wiki, of course.)

Ah, see, this is what I tried.  They meleed me to death.  This method has the problem of an item not dropping to the left, and if you move back onto your armor, everyone in the room gets a shot at you.  I might be mistaken, though.  (That, and I had no more consumables).
