User blog comment:Goddess of Despair/Season 5 Battle 7 French Naval Commandos vs Kampfschwimmer/@comment-4661256-20130625212617

El Alamien's "Konnigrazter Marsch" Edges:

''' Close Range: Glock vs. M&K Mk. 23: ''' The Heckler & Koch pistol has the damning .45 ACP round, which packs in stopping power for a handgun - easily outclassing the Glock's dinky 9mm round. That being said, the Glock's larger magazines more than make up for that, allowing the French Naval Commandos to squeeze the trigger unrelentingly and lay down the fire on the Germans long after the Kampfschwimmer's mag has gone dry.

Edge: French Naval Commandos

 Mid Range: UMP .45 vs. MP5:  The MP5 takes an easy win here - while it suffers from a lower-sized caliber (9mm to the UMP's .45 ACP), it boasts 20 meters extra range, allowing the Germans the opening salvos of fire as the fight gets close-up and personal, and it has 7 extra rounds per mag - 7 extra potential kills, if used properly. Plus, the MP5's 800 rds/min is far higher than the UMP's 600 rds/min.

Edge: Kampfschwimmer

 Long Range: FAMAS vs. H&K G36K  :  The Kampfschwimmer have an enormous advantage right off the bat with the 500 meters range advantage they have over the French Naval Commandos - the G36 is the superior long-distanced weapon here. The G36K is also outfitted with an internal flash suppressor, always a good thing to have. It also has a 100 round-drum outfitted to it, so it can lay down fire all day and night while the French have to reload constantly with their 30-round mags. Sure, it takes longer to reload a drum mag than a box mag, but the larger mag capacity is more than enough to make up for that.

Edge: Kampfschwimmer

WINNER: KAMPFSCHWIMMER

No contest, really. The Germans outclass the French where it matters, at long range and at mid range. The G36 is an annihilator, and it will mow the French down before they can even get close enough to return fire with their dinky FAMAS rifles. The MP5's faster rate of fire and larger magazine beats the inferior UMP, and that makes up for any minor disadvantage suffered at close range with pistols. The French Naval Commandos are, no doubt, deadly warriors, but they can't stack up to the Kampfschwimmer.
