Wars are won by men. Men use tools. Any tool that a man uses to help defeat the enemy is helpful. There was likely never a soldier that said, "gee I am glad I don't have a pistol with me in addition to my rifle." There are a lot of ways to fight war. Combat is only one of them, we've been in a culture war for a long time, education, immigration and indoctrination has been the means in which this has been fought, no guns needed. If we talk about conventional warfare, individual soldiers have prevailed and survived because of their pistols, that contributed positively to the overall war effort.
