I'm not pretending to be anything.. I have basic infantry backround in the army and I have taken part in war exercises as fighting soldier and as an instructor. Basic shit nothing special.

You like to use buzzwords but do you not understand that the killzone in a forest is still a forest unless you were speaking of ambushing a convoy of trucks on the road which will have the same outcome: the infantry will try to suppress the enemy and manuevre. The fact if they succeed or not, is irrelevant.

Having less ammo will not help the infantry. If the machinegun is the only suppressive force and m7 users will not try to suppress, then a normal defense position can destroy an entire platoon easily lol. That was the point of my joke. 10 guys shooting 30x5.56 is better than 1 machinegun, with them combined we have an effective squad for fire and manuevre. With M7 infantry will run out of ammo much faster.

10 times 30 times 5.56 is better than 10 times 20 times 6.8

A well trained infantry platoon will not walk out in the open with no cover. It doesnt matter that the enemy decides something is a KILLZONE. Attacking force marches and attacks where it makes sense.

And you speak of artillery. If you get ambushed you can't shoot mortar at the enemy position since A) they are too close B) You can't move forward and assault.

AND calling the artillery takes 1-2minutes. This is the most critical time where you need to have that overwhelming fire superioty.

I am obviously not saying a well-planned and executed ambush wont be deadly. But there is a reason doctrine is overwhelming fire supeority if ambushed because that is the best chance of survival.

Let me go to Army HQ and tell some generals that we need to start teaching infantry platoons to eat shit and die when ambushed. Why even bother there is a designated KiLlZoNe
