"We were defeated by one thing only – by the inferior science of our enemies. I repeat – by the inferior science of our enemies." Good quote. An example of this is the high-tech German Tiger tank vs the low-tech Soviet T-34.
The Tiger was an awesome tank, but it was expensive to produce and prone to breakdowns. The T-34 was just the opposite. Advantage T-34.

It was also too big for most of the roads over there, and too heavy.

Cheaper means more of them too.

And the Luger versus the 1911A1. A really neat pistol and cool-looking in the extreme, but full of fiddly little parts (especially in the trigger assembly) and NOT reliable when dirty or fouled. You can drop an issue 1911 (not a fine-tuned competition one - it’s tighter) into a mudhole and it will still work. That’s why they called it “Ol’ Rattletrap”.

3.1 BILLION folks with muzzle loaders will ‘defeat’ 310 million folks with repeaters.
