Again, the question was more bullets, not gunshots. Since movies rarely use live ammo, it has to be the Revolution.
As described in my many times great grandfather's memoirs, a lot of the fighting in the south was quick ambushes by a few Americans, where they only fired 1 round at a column of Brits and then disappeared into the woods. The remaining Brits would fire everything they had at trees, birds, and other suspicious forrest creatures. After all the excitement, they'd gather up their dead and wounded, reload, and march on, only to fall prey to another rebel volley a few miles away.
