The best scenario would have been for them to kill Solo, then rush in and grab R2, but they didn't manage to hit him once.

They were performing a cordon and search. They were never supposed to take down the target, only to find them. Elite units are always preferred for the actual takedown (see Black Hawk Down, etc.). And that target was just a dirt-farming kid on a joyride with two droids until that guy with the snout told the Imps he'd hired a ship. Docking Bay 94 was a case of an officer or NCO getting time-sensitive intelligence and rushing a unit into a mission it wasn't trained for. Someone fired a weapon before getting a good sight picture, Han fired back, then you see the rest of the squad try to find cover and fire as they run -- scoring several near misses. Had the passengers, cargo, and copilot not already been aboard, the skirmish might've turned out differently.

Besides, Davin Felth intentionally screwed the whole thing up because they kicked him out of the Armor Corps.
