thats a hard one, does the 100 have on limted ammo? and other stuff like grenads mortors sniper gear, mines whats there position, or is open field battle what are the perameters

That's not a fair fight. Assuming there's cover available, and with those muskets being notoriously inaccurate, those Redcoats don't stand a chance. We might lose a couple of men, but in the end, our technology and training is superior.

They wear red for a reason.

Scenario: The 100 US soldiers are behind cover and the 10.000 British soldiers are basically advancing towards them while firing their rifles at the same time. Both parties have unlimited ammo. No rocket launchers, grenades, etc. Just their guns and ammo (and lots of it)

so i guess the question is how long could 100 modern fighters stand agaist a 1000 at time musket balls being shoot at them at all times and if the 100 would be able to protect there flanks and there ass at the same time this still a tuff one. i think that if the redcoats won they will have to have sustained major losses in order to win. im gonna have to side with redcoats unless the modern warriors we dug in really deep

Red team go Red team go...... I think the old timers would just bum rush the modern dudes and start clubbing them to death with their rifles and hatchets..A lot of'em would be cut down on the initial rush but they would eventually overwhelm them..I have to think the old timers were way better at hand to hand combat than the modern guys

So long as they are using someone else's resources and man power.

LOL, one of those modern soldiers would just call in some steel rain...



Fight over.

IMO it all depends on strategy. Strength is usually greatest by numbers so if I were a betting man I'd take the red coats.

If you were able to surround a 100 troops with 1000 red coats you might lose a lot of men, but unless your strategy is piss-poor than you should be able to win the battle considering you out number them by almost 10X

technology wins wars. not numbers

I agree with you.
Another point to contemplate is the amount of ammo that the US soldier uses to kill ONE enemy, it is staggering.
When the Russians came to Afganistan they were shocked to notice that the Taliban were very good shots. With their old guns almost all shots counted.

WTH? LOL.

I was US Army and in OIF. Taliban are pretty good shots, but so were the Repub. Guard and your probably counting suppressing fire.

I can tag a man via peep sight at 400 meters. I'll prove it via video if necessary. Most US Combat Arms troops can.

THIS! IS! SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTA!

Sorry, had to do it.

LOL.

Give 'em bullet proof shields and maybe.

Your right about the amount of ammo modern day soldiers use..I watch ALOT of firefight footage and the one thing that always sticks out in my mind is the random, blind firing i see them doing..I guess it's because they know they have the ammo in reserve..I can see where the insurgents, rebels, terrorist would want to make sure EVERY one of their shots where on target..Their not gettin' any ammo drops or running back to the ammo depot to restock..The one thing I don't understand is the random firing in the sky they do..I wonder how many have been killed/injured from falling lead over there

I say this guy can take them all:
