Appelmonkey's "Nazis vs. Commies 2: Jungle Boogaloo" Edges

Type 56 Assault Rifle vs. StG 44: The Type 56 obviously gets the edge here, bigger calibre bullet, longer range, faster rate of fire, and it's lighter and shorter design makes it easier to carry around. The only thing where the StG gets even (or overcomes the Type 56) is with muzzle velocity and magazine size, but exceeding in the former and being tied with the latter obviously isn't enough to get it the edge. Edge: Viet Cong

RPD Machine Gun vs. MG 42: Alright the MG 42 is better than the RPD in every way, but (and this is is a big but) the MG 42 is designed to be a stationary weapon meant to be used on barricades or vehicles and while it will be suited during the fight in Huế, while in the jungle I'd rather take the more portable RPD over the MG 42. So, in the end, I am calling this a tie. Edge: Even

MAT-49 vs. MP40: TBC
