Lets see shall we

Close Range 

Both of these weapons are about the same length but the Kukri cuts deeper and is also a bit lighter, meaning that the gurkhas will be able to swing it quicker.

Edge: Gurkhas

Mid Range 

Not really much of a contest here. The Tokarev has double the range and a higher clip size than Webley and also has a faster rate of fire, clearly making it the superior pistol.

Edge: Viet Cong 

Long Range

The Sten and the MAT-49 are both very simular with the same range and magazine size. However the Sten has a faster rate of fire, something which I feel is always important in SMG and it's also lighter and shorter making it easier to manouve around.

Edge: Gurkhas

Explosive

I'm going to go with the Mills Bomb. I guessing that the F1 and POMZ are going to be used as some sort of booby trap and this means that they will have to be tripped in order to be effective, making there usefulness very luck based. The Mills Bomb can be carried around and thrown and has a much larger blast radius. Even if you use the F1 or POMZ as standard grenade they are considerably heavier and can't be thrown as far and coupled with their smaller blast range won't make them as effective as the Mills Bomb.

Edge: Gurkhas

Special

The Enfield gives the Gurkhas yet another edge in the firearm aspect of this battle as it has a much longer range than the firearms used by the Viet Cong and will allow the Gurkhas to pick them off from a distance. The Punji stakes are simular to the POMZ/F1 booby trap in that, while deadly, is not going to be useful if the Gurkhas don't stumble across it, making it's usefulness limited.

Edge Gurkhas

X Factors 

The Viet Cong has an average rating of 81.75 whereas the Gurkhas have an average rating of 88.

Final Verdict 

This shouldn't be too hard for the Gurkhas. They have the overall better firearms, enabling them to dominate the ranged combat and their superior physicality and melee weapon will make them a force to reckon with close range. Add in their far superior training and you have a recipe for success.

Gurkhas: 4,000

Viet Cong: 1,000
