What happened when newer more accurate weapons were used against closed formations at Antietam?
The losses on both sides were so high that the battle was recorded as the bloodiest day of the Civil War.
What might have happened if a different decision had been made in the Battle of Antietam?
Antietam did not swing on any crucial decisions. It happened because McClellan had discovered by chance that Lee's divisions were widely separated, and believed he could destroy them piecemeal. Lee then had to concentrate his forces, and fight before he was ready. If you're asking what would have happened if Lee had won, the answer is that Britain would have granted official recognition to the Confederacy and sent military aid. History might then have been very different.

Why do some military historians regard the Battle of Antietam to be inconclusive?
In pure military assessments of the Battle of Antietam, military historians see the battle as being one of inconclusive results. When military experts sweep away all the political ramifications of that battle, they see an inept and numerically superior Union army, Yes, Lee had to retreat, in fact no matter what happened in Sharpsburg, Lee did not have enough men or supplies to stay in Maryland. Military minded people say that Lee's other objectives were met, thereby, in a sense, nullify the results at Antietam. Militarists point out that Lee's invasion prevented a combined effort by McClellan and General John Pope to advance on Richmond. Lee's positions before and after Antietam transferred all military operations to northern Virginia. Based on Southern newspapers, the Southern public was not discouraged by the setback in Maryland. Also, the Army of Northern Virginia remained a force that within seven weeks doubled its size.With all the above said, Antietam was a political victory for Lincoln and the Union. Lincoln was then resolved to release his first emancipation proclamation.
