The Saunders flag tank is the 76mm unit. It and the Firefly are extremely powerful tanks at long range. Where the regular Shermans might have to approach to closer ranges to knockout the StuG III from the front, they can do so at 1000m for the 76mm and at any range for the Firefly. The caveat is that combat at longer ranges hasn't really featured in this show. The StuG III in turn is the only major threat on the Ooarai's side unless the girls in the Lee can rise to the challenge.
If Saunders was playing smart, they'd use their regular Shermans to flush out the StuG III and have the Firefly sit at 1500m picking off all other opponents. The 76mm Sherman just has to sit in a safe location away from the combat.

I know; I just trimmed the quote because it was long enough as is. My point is that whatever crappy rifle an infantryman is given doesn't really matter. In real combat, guns (as rifles or SMGs)
don't kill people. Or at least they're not a significant threat.

No way! The UN is a method of dialogue as much as anything. If Ooarai really was the UN, then they'd constantly be talking about protocol and voting on measures.
