User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Saito Hiraga Simply Walks Into Mordor/@comment-143604-20120606051910

I'm sorry Spartan, but not even Saito Hiraga simply walks into Mordor. Not without an army of Bears...with lasers...and ninja training. I'm gonna call it like this.


 * Orcs- 1200-1600 casualties. The Orcs don't take much punishment on their own, even in swordfights, but they'll chew through his ammo reserves and overwhelm him. Saito will kill most of them, and it will likely end up with the Orcs deciding they'd rather retreat than keep fighting.


 * Uruks- 300-500 dead. The Uruks are much better warriors who can take much more punishment than the orcs, know no pain and will no retreat or give in. Saito will kill a good third to a half of these units before falling battle.


 * Trolls- 3 or 4. The Trols will likely be major supporting units for the cannon fodder, and when the first one or two show up, Saito will probably still have bullets to sink into them. After that? Killing more will take considerable effort and leave him tired and exposed to other enemies, and I don't see him cleaning out the Trolls before being overwhelmed.

I don't think he'll get far enough to encounted the siege equipment or the Witch-King, unless the Witch-King rides out to meet him, in which case he'll lose the battle then and there. He's not prepared and strong enough to defeat the Dark One, combined with the power and mobility of a Fellbeast and other goodies. One man, regardless of equipment, simply isn't going to overtake the Mordor hordes, but let's hope he's enough of a distraction for Frodo.
