But could it defeat something as patriotic as Lt. Surge with an M16 riding a Braviary?

Yeah, customized ammunition would be crucial. If we think of it as type based attacks, then some ammunition could be even dual types.

Bullets
>steel bullets (Steel) = armor piercing
>lead bullets (Steel/Poison)
>incendiary bullets (Fire)
>incendiary bullets containing white phosphorus (Fire/Poison)

Shells
>steel pellets (Steel)
>lead pellets (Steel/Poison)
>stone fragments (Rock)
>dragon scales (Dragon)

Throwers
>Flames (Fire)
>Liquid Nitrogen (Ice)
>Acid (Poison)

Grenades
>Fragmentation Grenades (Normal / Steel) (Rock)/(Dragon), depending on the fragments' material
>Explosives (Normal / Fire)
>Poison Gas (Flying / Poison)
>"Holy Flashbang" (Fairy)

Mines
>Landmines (Ground / Fire or Normal)
>Claymores (Ground / Steel)

Fairy Types would be royally fucked in modern warfare.

I thought about criticism regarding battles / confrontations devolving into pure gun fights, while pokemon battles should be the main form of fighting. But if it's balanced and reasonable, it should technically work.

Huh, ice beams. Noted.

Yes, primarily in the first gens. But that's the anime-weirdness I wrote about. Later gens were mostly gun free, except for the instances I've mentioned (like Garchomp racing a fighter jet in the Gen6 anime (well, during an intermission)).
