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.

What are you talking about? You think they will line up in a straight line British Red Coat style and march their happy asses right up to the Confederates? They would fight as SEALS. I often wonder how the outcome of any given battle would change if just one elite modern soldier were given a modern rifle, sufficient cover, intelligence, and unlimited ammo. He could bed down outside of musket range, pick off the officers and inflict 100's of KIA's in hours. Give him a few days and the psychological aspects would be dire on any army. Now think of what 100 SEALS could do.
