How bad do you think it would've been if the coalition faced significant resistance?

I get that you had WWII sized engagements like Medina Ridge but the Iraqi army was always completely outclassed. In a way it seems like people got lucky with this, the British SA80 rifle at the time was a complete piece of shit for example whose firing pin frequently broke.
