Do you think 24 Delta Force solders could have saved the Alamo? Davy Crockett gets night goggles and 50 cals are on the ramparts. Enough to turn the tide? Enough to drive back the illegals?
How many troops were storming the Alamo? I’m not googling it, but I’d assume it was a sizable number.
Delta Force guys still bleed, and still die. Delta and Rangers caught hell in Somalia.
High tech weaponry would give them an edge, but you’re talking 24 guys against how many?

A few M2s with enough ammunition would likely make a mass infantry assault extremely costly, far beyond anything the Mexican Army of that era were prepared to absorb. It would be a blood bath.
And they would start the slaughter at a range the Mexican army could not comprehend. Not even their artillery would be remotely safe.

Delta guys arm themselves depending on the mission.
As per the OP, the mission would be to defend the Alamo, an isolated fort in the middle of fields.
They are going to bring whatever they have at their disposal to defend an isolated fortified position.
Delta wins 100/100 times.
ETA: anybody that believes men with muskets defeats Delta Force in a fortified position in the middle of fields, is a communist retard.

How much ammo and how many barrels do they have though?
I imagine the mexicans pull back almost immediately when they come under heavy machine gun fire from artillery range but if they dont, it's gonna take a buncha belts and a buncha barrels to kill them all.

What if Jesus had a B-52 and a nuclear warhead?
Would He destroy Rome? I don't think so.

1. You don’t need to kill them all
2. Keeping them at bay is kinda the point

I seem to remember the Mexicans having something called artillery
Not for long when the 50 cal rifles are sending lead hornets over. The cannons couldn't load themselves.

Eugene Sledge and SNAFU with a 60 mm mortar and unlimited rounds could’ve destroyed the Messicans

The only way that Delta Force would lose would be because they ate at Chipotle earlier in the day.
