Not a valid comparison as tactics play a large role in any military operation. Give me a trained battalion armed with 69cal smoothbores, buck n ball and bayonets, and you'll never take my ground with a militia armed with longrifles.Many of Daniel Morgan's men had the more modern "rifles" as compared to Redcoat smoothbores, at the Battle of Cowpens.
Did Tarleton's men notice the difference?

In the Revolution, the militia would often break a run after the first couple shots as they couldn't handle the close in fire from the British muskets followed by close combat with bayonets. Longrifles don't have a provision for those. Cowpens and Guilford Courthouse are great examples of how to use a militia so equipped.
Take the military part out of this equation, and the point is still valid. I've seen lots of guys at the range shooting from a bench and bragging about how good their gun is and how well they can shoot. The look on their face is priceless when you make them stand up or position shoot as most have never had any marksmanship training. That's why the Appleseed program is such a hit. Whoda thunk you need to aim tight and use fundamentals with a rifle.
