El Alamein's "Allahu Akbar! Wait.... what?" Edges:

Close Range: TT-33 vs. Browning Hi-Power: As far as the rounds these two pistols shoot, they're even. The 9x19mm and 7.62x25mm rounds are both beans and any decent cover will stop the rounds. However, the Browning has a larger magazine, so you can afford to miss a shot or two more than you can with the TT-33. The TT-33 is lighter than the Browning, but not by enough of a difference to seriously impact fatigue for either warrior. The edge goes to the Browning Hi-Power for its larger magazine. Edge: Iraqi Republican Guard

Mid Range: Beretta Model 12 vs. Skorpion: These are both submachine guns with weak stopping power - the Beretta shoots the 9mm round and the .32 ACP round of the Skorpion shares nothing in common with the M1911's .45 ACP - the .32 round is noted for its marginal stopping power. The Beretta does have a greater effecitve range by around 50 meters, but the Skorpion takes the cake with a higher rate of fire (850 rds/min as opposed to the Beretta's 550 rds/min), which you need with a compact, close ranged weapon like the submachine gun. Although the Skorpion has a smaller magazine, I really think the most important factor in an SMG is rate of fire and this is why it gets the edge. Edge: Iraqi Republican Guard

Long Range: PKM vs. RPK: The PKM's 7.62x54mm round is more powerful than that of the RPK, and it has a faster rate of fire (650-700 rds/min and the RPK has 600 rds/min) and while I would love this and probably give it the edge right away, the PKM is a belt-fed machine gun. It jammed on Deadliest Warrior, and this is because a large round being shot out of the belt at high rates of fire is going to cause a malfunction - the bigger the round the harder it will be to stay in place on the belt and the faster the rate of fire the more likely the belt will whip around during firing and get jammed. The RPK uses a magazine, which lessens the chances for malfunction - it might carry less rounds in a magazine than it would in a belt, but its reliability is increased tenfold. Plus, the RPK weighs 10 pounds less than the PKM, which means fatigue will be much less for the Republican Guard. The RPK's increased reliability and lighter weight gets it the edge. Edge: Iraqi Republican Guard

Special Weapons: F1 Grenade vs. RGD-5 Grenade: The RGD-5 is lighter, so it can be thrown farther, and aside from that there's not a lot much else to examine, because they both use TNT for their explosive capacity. Edge: Even

Winner: Iraqi Republican Guard

The Republican Guard has greater combat experience. Sure, they got plowed over by the UN coalition forces, but at least they did inflict a defeat on Kuwait a few years before. The Amazonian Guard never really fought anywhere. Combine this with the superiority of the Skorpion over the Beretta and the reliability issues of the PKM, and the Republican Guard has an advantage in weaponry that the Amazonian Guard can't overcome, and this is why the Republican Guard takes the victory.
