CFP3157'S EDGES OF MASSIVE DESTRUCTION: "Finish the fight; Kill or be killed"

Sniper Rifle: Echo

StA is not only useful for long range sniper encounters, but it's not too shabby if used in tight close quarters in mid-range fights. Add its larger magazine, and those edges can beat out the SRS's longer scope.

Assault Rifle: Rookie

The MA5C is a better rifle, with two more bullets in the standard magazine. However, it's the troops that are wielding the weapons that get this edge. The ODST are the equivilant to special forces, and they're trained in quick manuevers in urban combat with their assault rifles. THe Helghast Assault Troops, whlie smarter and deadlier than their predesecor, are more so either regular infantry or espionage agents.

Handgun: Even 

The thing with this comparison is, that the MG Automag is far better suited for farther ranged combat with that scope. However, when things get urban in a close range fight, the StA-19 will be a lot quicker to aim.

Knives: Echo

The heavier blade of the FSK gives it a slight edge.

Winner: The Rookie

Despite losing out at the longer ranges, The Rookie has this battle. He's got training designed for urban combat like this, he's seen way more combat as a soldier rather than an espionage agent, and his assault rifle and pistol give the damage at mid range.
