User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Jiralhanae (Halo) vs Krogan (Mass Effect)/@comment-26074921-20120516134727

The Krogan take this battle. As a species the Krogan culture is just as warrior like but far more brutal. While both are powerfull warriors, the krogan physiology is perfectly adept for combat, whereas the Brutes get few bonouses in this regard. Each Krogan can withstand more punishent individually than each Jiralhanae. The Multitude of back up organ systems (including back up nervous systems for when pain becomes to great or serious injury occurs)

The Krogan weapons are, for the most part, supieror (save for the fuel rod cannon) thanks to the technology behind them (mass accelorator technology advanced by mass effect physics)


 * SMG- The locust is far supierior to the spiker in nearly every regard. Using mass accelerator technology the Locust has much greater penetatrion and stopping power. The spikes "thrown" by the Spiker are to slow in velocity to really do considerable damage to Krogan armor and even in their flesh won't really slow them down like it would to a human. Edge: Krogan


 * Assault Rifles- The Carbine has great penetration but Mattock is a much more versatile and is only slightly behind in muzzle velocity than the carbine (which you erroneously state as being close to a modern firearm based on your assumptions)


 * Shotguns- First can I say (and I don't mean to sound rude or condescending) I don't know why they are equipped with the spike thrower as opposed to the claymore. The spike thrower was designed for hunting Thresher maw and not for combat. Though with the current selection I'd probably make say close to being even though the Mauler has slightly less stoping power (and I'm not saying this because the Mauler is smaller) Edge: Krogan


 * Snipers-Meh, to lazy do deal with snipers, I'd say about even Edge: Even


 * Heavy- The flamethower is outclassed here plain and simple Edge:Jiralhanae
