OK, put the MG-FFs and the MK 108 on rooftops, at corners so that they can cover some directions with depressed fire. Tracer ammunition will be advantageous: it makes attackers try to dodge, which spoils their aim, as well as helping the gunners.
The easy way to keep the guns on roofs warm is to put them in collapsible huts which enclose them completely, and give them a warm-air shaft up through the roof. to keep the hut warm. It will require a few seconds to collapse the huts and free the guns to fire, but it's worth it. This assumes that alerts which may require firing the guns are fairly rare, but given the danger level of the opposition that is around, that seems likely. If they were getting attacked every day, the ASN position would be unsustainable.
