Humans armed with human scale projectile or energy weapon are inefficient. Instead one should build small drones (10cm across or less), each equipped with a small explosive rocket launcher, in large quantities (as well as support vehicles for said drones) able to communicate via tight-beam laser. Said drones can lie in ambush and then fly out to engage targets. Humans with assault rifles will have a hard time targeting a dozen fast moving small targets while the drones can hide and move to ambush. The Drones can also be modified to incapacitate humans by giving them a small shaped charge and having them latch onto firearms and melt them.

If the technology exists to make these then the technology also exists to counter it. It uses laser communication then how about a smoke grenade to obscure the beans. Switch to Radio frequencies jammed. Even a short range EMP generator might be possible at this technology level. The only way this would really work is if the side using then had massive technological superiority over the other side.

And what about when soldiers are issued handheld flak guns?

This is basically the best strategy in Eclipse Phase.
