The civil war also had some cannons blasting... but the weapons were VERY different. A well trained soldier was shooting 2-3 bullets per minute in the civil war. WW2 machine guns were 25 rounds per second. There is no comparison of the destruction capabilities...

"In 1862, Richard Jordan Gatling invented a multi-barreled, rotating gun operated by a hand crank that could fire up to 200 rounds a minute." https://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/gatling-gun https://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/gatling-gu... I'm not sure what war you're thinking of.
