Given enough ammo, a few spare-barrels and a little more training, he can hold one breach in the wall alone at least untill the Turks start using the pile of bodies as meat shields to his bullets.
So what? Don't get why you point at the obvious. We all know (do we?)the machine gun was not invented before the late middle of the 19th century. If the Romans would have had helicopter gunships, the battle in the Teutoburger Wald maybe would have gone differently.
