A typical “battle pack” of ammo is about 200 rounds. During “pray and spray” operations, accuracy or the percentage of hits, is not great. So even if you doubled or tripled the ammo load per soldier, they might still need hand to hand combat at the end.

[DPMD]

With or without Apaches and Warthogs?

[jdsteel]

So silly.

Yeah, set up in a flat virtual world, make big rectangles and go.

No mortars, hand grenades, heavy machine guns or cover.

Riiiight.

[Jim W N]

Yup. As I said, like a nuclear blast pretty much instantaneously, the sword from Jesus’ mouth will vaporize the whole world assembled at Megiddo. The world really doesn’t have a clue what’s coming.

But then that’s where we come in. By His Sprit, we bring as many to Jesus who will come before that horrific day soon to come.

...for 250 milliseconds.

Think “cluster munitions”.

Sparta probably never fielded even half that number.

20,000 Hoplites? No. It's like us fielding 20,000 Navy Seals. Of course we do not have that many.

Spartans did fight with free citizens and slaves in their army. But the quality is not the same.

[Tallguy]

Who’s infantry? US infantry is perhaps the most well-supported by indirect fire in history. Would they have enough ammo and fire discipline to outlast a classical army of 20,000 seeking to rip their lungs out? Maybe, if their battalion CO were a board gamer and ready for unconventional tactics.

We've had a lot of changes in our leadership. I wonder how much of an impact would that have on the quality of G.I. Joe today in 2022?

[Rebelbase]

That was insane. I liked the infinite firing rifles.

[PIF]

Think “cluster munitions”.

Zulu. My all time favorite movie. Watch it at least once a year.

[Bull Snipe]

Ditto. Though there are some inaccuracies and script liberties taken for some of the characters, still and awesome flick

Mike Tyson – “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”.

For all the appearance of being a complete meathead, Tyson sure can drop some truth now and then. I saw a talk show where a young girl who was trying to get into the fight game got to address Tyson, and she asked him for any advice. He said "Work on being a good person as well as a fighter, because you'll be a person a lot longer than you'll be a fighter."

[GingisK]

That is an dangerous opponent and a loving friend.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Reminds me of the Harry Turtledove alternate history novel “The Guns of the South”, where stereotypical white Boer racists go back in time to arm the Confederate army with AK’s so they win and preserve slavery. They also gave Lee some medicine for his heart to keep him alive. Lee screwed them over and freed the slaves anyway IIRC.

[LibWhacker]

I liked the infinite firing rifles.

I have one of those. It's called a flashlight and it fires photons. 'Course, it's not really infinite: When the batteries die, I run out of photons.

The Battle of Omdurman was probably the last battle between an army equipped with the latest technology and an ill-equipped force with no modern weaponry. Spears and a few breech loaders were no match against artillery and Maxim machine guns.

I think it was the Ethiopian tribesmen against the Italians in 1935 but the regular Ethiopian Army had some modern weapons.

[Who is John Galt?]

Kind of reminds me of a question my young nephew once asked me: "If a lion fought a shark, which one would win?"

;>)

When the Japanese, armed with rifles, machine-guns, pistols, grenades, and swords, did mass attacks on Americans armed with rifles, pistols, machineguns and grenades. The Americans killed them with about 100-1 casualties.

The key is for the people with the modern weapons to have a good defensive position.

The Spartans would do no better, as long as they can be induced to mass attack the entrenched modern fighters.
