User blog comment:GSFB/Terran Marines (Starcraft) vs Mobile Infantry (Starship Troopers)/@comment-1683193-20130215120100

Close:Big edge for the Terrans. The knife won't be very effective against the Marines powered armor, but the Terrans weapons will be extremely effective aginst the lightly armor MI.

Mid Range:Tie. The MI's weapons pack more power, but the Terrans have greater range.

Long Range: Another edge for the terrans. The gauss rifle has extreme firepower(calcs put it close to a GAU-8 Avenger) and likely longer range, as Marines can easily target Zerg over a km away, and while likely just a massive appilication of Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale, Uprising has Terran marines shooting at targets 55 miles away. Special: Tie. Both are used for different roles,and the defensive and offensive advantages offered by the shield and stimpacks should be able to match the MI's extra weapons.

Winner:Terran Marines. They have better guns and armor, and I don't think the MI can match them.
