I assume taliban small arms account for more than 10% of casualties. but then again maybe it's IEDs doing the heavy lifting, I really have no idea.

The rifled musket beat the rifled muzzle loader into service so during Crimea and the American Civil War the infantry outranged the artillery. Even then, it took the shrapnel shell and quick firing gun for artillery to really dominate the battlefield.

There was that video the DoD put out everywhere for a while to show the first ever medal of honor action to be recorded on camera of high speed low drag tier one operators. All I saw was some dudes firing wildly Rambo style while forgetting one of their own and running away. Oh and the caption on the videos says there are dozens of bad guys off camera being bad.
