As put forward by these fine gentlemen, after seeing the military effectiveness of repeating rifles both in the recent civil war and in the on going Indian Wars, what if the top brass in the US military (particularly the ordinance department) finally got it into their heads that it was better for soldiers to rapidly and accurately shoot at 4-500 yards, than snipe a target at 1000.

With the use of lever actons like Winchester's and falling blocks like Sharps', the army develops squad tactics and doctrines that are very close to what was around by OTL ww2, in 1870-80s.

What effects would this have on, say, the spanish-american war/phillipine-american war, ww1, etc.?
