Poisoned Bullets - The world's oldest known arms agreement, the Strasbourg Agreement of 1675, explicitly outlawed the use of poisoned bullets. The first guns used in warfare weren't terribly accurate, so soldiers would often supplement the lack of accuracy by soaking their bullets in some kind of poisonous or infectious substance. It was not unheard of for legions of soldiers to stow their bullet caches inside rotting corpses, though the bottom of a latrine pit worked just as well. When France and the Holy Roman Empire went to war, they initially experienced a massive wave of casualties not from gunshot wounds, but from subsequent infection. More than 250 years would pass before Geneva once again addressed chemical and biological weapons.

And that's where you're wrong!
A dead soldier is left there for later pick up.
A wounded soldier imediatly takes 1-2 of his buddies to carry him to safety, wham 3 soldiers less with one bullet.
Remember: There are many kinds of wounded but only one kind of dead.

They lased their arrows with poop and decaying bodies way back then, nothing new.
