119's "Urban Chaos" Edges


 * Melee: The Commando Sombra's machete takes this, as a sharp weapon such as the machete is more likely to kill with a single well-placed strike than a blunt weapon such as the baseball bat.


 * Handguns: The Families' Taurus PT-92 takes this, as it has a larger magazine, over twice the size of the Colts, more than making up for its lower firepower. Edge: Families.


 * Shotguns: This one is more difficult. The Mossberg has a larger magazine and a slightly longer range, however, the Remington is a close-range killer with its rapid rate of fire thanks to its semi-automatic action. For this reason, I'm calling this Even.


 * SMGs: The FAMAE has a slightly longer range, however, the Families' MP5A3 has an extended magazine, which should prove more of an asset at the ranges at which SMGs are typically used. Edge: The Families


 * Assault Rifles: The Type 56 has a larger magazine, however, the FN FAL fires the 7.62mm NATO round, which has superior ballistic performance to the 7.62 Soviet. This means superior range, stopping power, and accuracy, important in a longer range weapon like an assault rifle. Edge: Commando Sombra.


 * X-Factors: In general, I agree that the Families have a slightly superior overall arsenal, and I'm not sure about experience, as I am more familiar with the Commando Sombra than the Families (i.e. haven't played GTA 5 yet), but I'd assume they'd be about the same. The thing that wins this for the Commando Sombra, however, is their knowledge of the terrain, intelligence, and tactics, which will allow them to the catch the Families by surprise, outwit, and outfight them.


 * Overall Winner: The Commando Sombra will, in my opinion, score a narrow victory, primarily due to their superior knowledge of the terrain, tactics, and intelligence, which will allow them to catch their enemies by surprise, or quickly escape a fight and set a trap elsewhere.
