Living on the Fringe

Rifle: VC. The only real edge the STG44 has going for it is the fact it's a more accurate weapon than the trusty AK rip-off. Other than that, it's weight and length will be a hindrance for both urban and jungle combat. I suppose the muzzle velocity of the STG means it could penetrate through a thin enough wall, but then again there'd have to be bad guys behind it. So, VC.

MG: SS. This goes to the Waffen SS because of it's firepower advantage and the fear factor that tends to follow the MG42 around. It's bullet and fire rate completely outclass the RPD, and they are about the same length. The RPD is lighter, which makes it ideal for the type of Warfare the VC will be using, but assuming the SS will be using their own counterinsurgency tactics; the MG42 fits well for their way of going about it. So, SS.

SMG: SS. The MP40 is probably one of the best SMGs ever made. It's range advantage and lighter weight will make it ideal for both scenarios, though it will lose out in a very surprise combat scenario due to the sheer shredding power of the MAT-49. However, weapon quality is on the table.The MAT-49 of the VC are French Left-overs from the 50s, and will probably suffer from some malfunction at least once... not saying that if you drop an MP40 in mud it'll do any better.

Sidearm: VC. I'll be honest in saying that I bash the Tokarev quite a bit because  M1911 is my baby, however, I do recognize it as a fine pistol and sidearm. The Tokarev has a pretty sheer firepower advantage over the P38. Other than that, they may as well be identical.

Shoulder-mounted Firepower: VC. I'm actually going with the RPG-2 here. It requires only one person to relaod, and probably has a faster reload speed. It's also much lighter, like half the weight of the Panzerschrek. The VC will be unecumbered, and it's HEAT rockets will give it an explosion radius.

Grenade: Even. See, here we get the classive Defensive vs. Offensive grenade arguement. The french-made F1 is best used from behind cover due to it's shrapnel and you don't want to die from your own grenade.The M24 is an offensive grenade relying mostly on concussion to do it's damage, so the SS won't have to be covered to effectively throw it. Each one works in one situation, so tie.

Deadliest Warrior: TBD.
