You read old Westmoreland strategy... Vietcong had a different one. NOT one shot ONE kill, but ONE shot ONE wounded....it took 4 soldiers ( or Marines) to move the wounded off the battlefield. A lot more efficient where ONE shot removes FIVE guys...that is one of the reason they defeated Americans..
