GT25's Edges

Close Range (Cane Knife vs. Grappling Hook): Yeah, this is just a repeat of the Machete vs. Grappling Hook from the Pirate's battle against the Cartel. The Grappling Hook, while it could work as an improvised weapon, the Cane Knife is the more practical of the two when it comes to combat. Edge: Khmer Rouge

Medium Range (Tokarev TT-33 vs. Colt Python): This one is rather simple to call, so I won't waist much time on this category. While the Colt has the larger round of the two, the Tokarev simply has more rounds in the magazine and the longer range of the two. Edge: Khmer Rouge

Long Range (M16A1 vs. AK-47): Both assault rifles have the same amount of rounds in the magazine and the M16A1 has the superior rate of fire and longer range. However, as the previous experts have pointed out, the Vietnam-era M16A1 was unreliable in the field (especially in a jungle climate) and could jam easily. On the other hand, the AK-47 is widely known for being one of the most reliable assault rifles (as demonstrated in Deadliest Warrior during the IRA vs. Taliban episode) and having a larger round. So, simply put, I'd rather have one of the most reliable rifles rather than an unreliable piece of crap. Edge: Somali Pirates

Explosives (RGD-33 vs. RGD-5): I'm just going to say that Deadliest Warrior has done this in their Saddam Hussein vs. Pol Pot episode and I'm just going for their verdict. Edge: Khmer Rouge

X-Factors: Okay, starting off, it's the Khmer Rouge's 76.5 to the Somali Pirate's 81.5. However, even if the Somali Pirates didn't have the overall average, the Pirates have the edge in the most important category. The Khmer Rouge have a greater brutality and have logistics, but they are students that were given weapons by Pol Pot and told what to do. The Somali Pirates, on the other hand, have trained in how to use their weapons and are more familiar with the weapons they use. In addition, the Pirates are willing to risk their own lives just to survive on a daily basis. Edge: Somali Pirates

Overall: Honestly, this one isn't that hard to call in terms of a victor. While the Khmer Rouge have a majority of the edges, the Somali Pirates have the edge in X-Factors and have a major advantage against their opponent. Simply put, this is a battle between students armed with weapons and not really well trained against people who have some experience with their weapons and have to risk their lives on a daily basis just to survive. Even against another modern warrior, the Khmer Rouge will have a disadvantage against whoever they're up against and this factor leaves them scrambling when they're up against more experience warriors. Despite not having that much experience, the Pirates do have some experience in fighting and are willing to die just to survive. So, despite the Khmer Rouge having the better arsenal, the Somali Pirates make up for this with their experience and audacity and have the better assault rifle to end the match before either close in.
