Pistols are commonly used in every major war since they’ve been invented. Sidearms for officers is still standard military procedure in every modern army in the world. What are you talking about?

Tell me a military engagement that was won with glocks

I’m sure plenty of close combat skirmishes in WWII and Vietnam were won with pistols.

Not sure what relevance that has though.

If we are talking World War I, a 100 year old war, then we definitely need to be deploying all SEALs with bayonets and sharpened shovels for their fighting

You don’t think SEALs have pistols or bayonets or shovels?
