'''Tybaltcapulet's "레인저스가 리드!" Edges:'''

Long Range: Even being the older rifle, this to me is an easy edge. The PSL has all the advantages it really needs to overcome the M24. A faster action makes it easier to provide consistent cover fire and  the superior range of the PSL allows it to cover a larger distance. With the same capacity and about the  same power, the quicker and farther shooting PSL wins it for me.Edge: NKSOF 

Medium Range: I like the SCAR-L as much as the next guy, and it's a pretty effective weapon, but the ability of the Type 88-2 to just slap on more than three times the capacity, and maintain a much longer range can just not be ignored. That level of firepower could easily hold back the Rangers for a pretty long time  even if it doesn't kill, and still have a decent amount of ammo remaining. The Type 88-2 has versatility, power and range on its side, allowing it the edge here.Edge: NKSOF

Close Range: Ah the Tokarev, how I love the Tokarev. But finally North Korea's outdated technology has come back to bite it in the ass here. The Beretta's got the less powerful round sure, but it'll still get the job done, and it has almost twice the capacity of the Tokarev. There's a reason pistols went from low capacity high power weapons to high capacity lower powered weapons, and the Beretta's a perfect example of that. The Tokarev's gonna be plagued with constant reloads, while the Beretta can keep on firing for much longer, making it the more useful pistol.Edge: Rangers 

H2H: I'm not sure why you decided to not only bring this back, but to not even describe much of what they are. I had to use outside sources to find actual detail on these two styles(Which is literally on the DW wiki). And based on what I found, i'm ruling in favor of SOCP. The Hapkido/Tae Kwon Do combo is nice, but relies way too much on the opponent's lack of proper technique of improper energy usage for it to be effective.SOCP on the other hand is focused on being as simple and quick as possible, to create space to get back to using regular weaponry. In a Hand to Hand fight, I favor the technique that is focused on simplicity and quick strikes to stop an opponent and to me SOCP is that technique.Edge: Rangers 

Explosives: OH HELL NO! I thought i'd never have to see the box again. Look it's a creative design, but it's a freaking box. A tiny one at that, and compared to the Claymore, its got no chance. The blast radius of the box mine is pathetically small anyways, but compared to the Claymore that can reach 25 times the distance? Forget about it. The Box Mine was and continues to be an inferior explosive across the board. (I mean seriously, the Russians couldn't supply them with RGD-5s or something like that?) Edge: Rangers

X-factors: This isn't even really up for debate in my opinion. The US Army Rangers have this in the bag. Sure the North Koreans have the superior main weaponry, those being the Sniper rifles and the Assault Rifles, but i'm honestly going to mostly ignore that. Why? Because the NKSOF are not nearly as competent operators or warriors for that matter. They lack every integral part necessary for a cohesive special forces group. They lack experience, as they only really know their own territory, while the Rangers have been in multiple conflicts across the world, (including Korea) over a much longer period. As for training, I would barely consider goose step training to be much more than standard drill on steroids. In short, it's not training that is really applicable to actual combat. The Army Rangers are extensively trained for the frontlines. They don't say Rangers lead the way for nothing, that is exactly what they train for, while the North Koreans at most get rudimentary training for being a supposed special force. The NKSOF's greatest asset, is their devotion and extreme loyalty to the state, which will also be their downfall. Such indoctrination will make them do literally anything to achieve victory, for fear of failure and execution, rather than actual competent strategies and tactics like the USAR. Looks like DW was right on this one. The USAR are much more experienced, trained and work together in a much more cohesive manner. The NKSOF stand no chance here.
