Yeah, just assault rifles, machine guns and give them snipers too.


Snipers would take out the guys shooting cannons and officers. It would be a slaughter

Yeah but if you think of the sheer number of the Union Army. If all they had to do was kill 100 men to win the war they could just swarm the Seals. A lot of Union troops would fall no doubt, but they could be overwhelmed by brute force.

Even with unlimited ammo they'd still have to take time to reload and all that good stuff, the cavalry could get there pretty quick.

after the first officer goes down, you think they aren't going to take cover? Then calvary would out maneuver and flank them holding them down til infantry could move to encircle. Trap them and wait it out.

Add in SEAL issue NVGs. This is the great equalizer. Ten men accustomed and trained to fighting at night vs 100 men who are accustomed to sleeping at night.
