” and the select-fire M14 and M16 infantry rifles of the Vietnam War only seem to have produced more misses, requiring the expenditure of 200,000 rounds to kill one enemy combatant. “

Then number keeps getting bigger! OTOH, a lot of those rounds were NOT M14 or M16 rounds.

Those thousands per numbers keep growing and growing.

I guess Simo Hayha was the equivalent of tens of millions of rounds.
