TheWetWaffle's "We Made a Turn on the Wrong Road" Edges

Melee: The KA-BAR is a commando's dream knife. Versitile, light, reliable, long, and sharp are factors you have to contribute when making a blade and the KA-BAR fits all. The Sickle's curved blade is nice and all but if your blade is stuck in some guys neck, you're gonna waste time taking the blade out and that's a huge waste of time since around the corner a guy could be waiting to kill you.

Edge: Irish Republican Army

Short Range: I think the Beretta is a pretty nice pistol and all but the Browning has more ammo and in a firefight you don't want to be caught with an empty clip. Sure the Beretta is lighter on the draw and can make the soldier carrying get less worn out but the more weight of the Browning is worth it.

Edge: Irish Republican Army

Mid Range: I'm surprised about the weapon getting the edge in this fight. The MAT-49 is lighter, more accurate, and has a higher capacity but the Thompson is getting everyone's edge. But om this case I'll call it even, as the Thompson's own traits such as the sturdier stock, higher RPM, and stronger round make it a force to be reckon with.

Edge: Even

Long Range: Another edge tipped in the favor of the IRA. The AR-15 may be semi-automatic but it is way more accurate, has a longer range, and is lighter. I would've given the IRA the AR-18 in any other scenerio but in this case they can work with this firearm to its highest potential.

Edge: Irish Republican Army
