So I guess the idea is that they were purposely put in the line of fire so they could be taken out? I could see this happening....
This was just an aspect of the Waco fiasco I am unfamiliar with.
A little later he pulls the pin on something and chucks it in the window, then follows it up with a long burst from a subgun of some sort into the room. Return fire through the wall knocks his helmet and he stops firing. He gets back down the ladder and retreats.
The four guys who made the initial assault are dead and all got autopsied by a private doctor. They are the only federal deaths at Waco.
As it turns out all had been Clinton bodyguards at the state level and as feds during the primaries.

Clinton spoke at Treasury March 18, 1993, it’s not at the treasury site anymore but will be in the Presidential Archives under that date (unless Winston Smith pushed that into the memory hole too, but the archives have been OK afaik).
