Let's talk about your assault rifle edge. The important factors are magazine capacity (Even), Caliber (AK47), rate of fire (M4A1), weight (M4A1), and how accurate they are (M4A1), alongside reliability. The two factors of ballistics and environment both will favor Price here. An M4A1's ballistics are much more modern compared to the M16, the rifle it replaced. And they aren;t fighting in a muddy battlefield, and they won't be shoving dirt down their barrels. So without any environmental problems and better ballistics, the M4A1 is even  or possibly more reliable than a cheap AK-47. Pistols being used at farther than 15 meters is absolutly dumb, that's what SMG's are for. So with the range need aside, a lighter weight, bigger magazine, and higher caliber will give a gun a win. While it is heavier, the USP takes the other two factors with incredible ease, and takes the edge with no competition.
