Omnicube1's Cubeliest Edges

Melee: The machete definitely packs length, but the Chinese are skilled in their butterfly swords which are pretty much mini-machetes. Edge: Communist Party of China

Short Range: The Shanxi Type 17 fires a larger caliber overall and has that option to go full-automatic. The Makarov pistol fires too small of a round to compete with the Type 17, but it does have a faster reload. Edge: CPC

Mid Range - SMGs: Definite edge to the Thompson M1928. It fires a larger round, packs the faster firing rate, and the magazine size. The MP 18 may be the first submachine-gun ever made, but the Thompson easily takes the reigns as one of the greatest SMGs in the world. Edge: 26th of July Movement

Mid Range - rifles: M1 Garand revolutionized warfare with its semi-automatic capability. It hits harder with the .30-06 compared to the Chiang Kai-shek rifle's 5.8x57 round. Edge: 26th of July Movement

Long range: Actually this category is inaccurate considering the Movement never laid their hands on a PK machine gun considering it wasn't even invented at the time of the revolution. The Cuban's should really have the RPD or the BAR, if you decide to go with the BAR then the Chinese would use the Bren or Type 99 machine gun. Edge: Nobody

Special: Boys definitely takes the edge. The RPG-7 is great, but I don't see it dominating over the CPC's anti-tank rifle. It's more precise as opposed to the RPG-7 that tends to go off course after traveling 90 meters. Plus it has a greater rate of fire, since for the RPG-7 you need to load a new rocket every time you fire. Edge: CPC

Explosive: You have time to avoid a Molotov cocktail, for a grenade it's definitely more difficult to gauge how much time you have between getting blown to bits or saving your ass. Edge: CPC

The Deadliest Warrior: 26th of July Movement, the Movement's revolutionary arsenal wins the day for them. The M1 Garand's tremendous rate of fire and range will keep the Chinese out of the game. The Chinese will come close, but the Cubans' are much too powerful and much too disciplined. 550-450
