Going down the rabbit hole…
I’m seeing a couple websites citing David McCullough (arguably the foremost expert on American History alive today) saying that there were closer to 1,500 total engagements during the Revolutionary War. The ~250 number would be major battles, so these other 1,250 would be much smaller…. But as a whole they would still add up!
Let’s say each had an average of 100 total combatants. Using our 10 shot average that would be another 1.25 million shots!
