BeastMan14's "It's Not You, Son, It's My Triskaphobia" Edges

Melee: Gordon Freeman. The crowbar is an incredibly iconic weapon for a few reasons, but it's biggest edge is the huge advantages it has over weapons like the knife. Normally a sharp weapon tends to beat out a blunt tool, but it will be hard to close the distance on a crowbar and it will arguably impede Strelok more thanks to Gordon's armor, which will have a much easier time blocking the knife than Strelok's armor will in dealing with blunt trauma.

Pistols: Gordon Freeman. The USP has substantially more ammo than the Makarov, on top of firing a more powerful round. Easy.

Shotguns: Strelok. On top of the extra ammo, the SPAS-14 is also a much more versatile gun, and the semi-auto fire will be a huge godsend in the middle of combat, which makes up for not being quite as possible. But, hey, its a shotgun. Take a hit from it at close-range and you're human salsa, regardless of how many barrels.

SMGs: Gordon Freeman. TBF
