It's the scope function. We can considering a positive result when soldier arrives at the postation of machine gun

And why is an assault only deemed successful if a soldier reaches distance zero?

And in fact I took into account a distance L from 1.000 m. Probably also too far

That and the fact that the lethal range of a machinegun (any machinegun) extends far beyond 50 metres.
Your is an interesting question.
You say: but I saw the Normandy, or the battles in the Flandres during WWI, and Stefansen's model suggests that to take a machine gun it need 20.000 men (0,005% means that 5 surviovor men on 100.000, 1 on 20.000), but the experience tells me different. What wrong?????????
Nothing. It's just a matter of point of view.
My model says if you run against a machine gun that are shooting against you, if you are in this situation, you survive only 1 times on 20.000.
But this first step take into account you are only against the machine gun. During an operation there are several men. The defensor aims to one man by time, and the he tries to hit him with a probability P until he kills him and then he pass to another man. So the probably that you sourvive are made by two component, the first Q (just talked about), and a second component, we can call it C, the probably that the defensor chooses to aim you
Are the attackers unarmed? -

What what?
M2 Brownings with a scope attached were used as high powered sniper rifles in the Korean war and had an effective range of 2.25km.
Now what?
If the setting changes, the parameters change. Where is the problem? -

No Italian man has ever been able to remove either of his hands from his genitals, and even if they did, I wouldn't want to touch his hand -
