'''Laqy's "You And What Army?" Edges'''

Rifles: The M1917 has some nice advantages in the form of greater range and a more powerful round, but the SMLE has twice the magazine capacity, which is an advantage by a significantly greater margin than anything the 1917 does better. Edge: Milhais

LMGs: Same scenario as the rifles, except this time Milhais beats his American opponent with a magazine over twice the size of York's. It's also significantly heavier, but the small scale of the battle means Milhais's men won't be lugging it around all that much, so getting tired isn't a big issue. Edge: Milhais

Pistols: Dead even. Like the other voters have said, one has a more powerful round, and the other has a larger magazine. Neither outclasses the other by enough to sway this edge in their direction. Edge: Even

X-Factors and Conclusion: Milhais has the edge in weapons, as I've detailed above. But is that going to be enough to win him the victory? I'm going to turn against the tide and say no. Milhais's acts of valor might seem more impressive at first glance, but this is a very different scenario. Milhais can take a swarm of soldiers charging his position at once, but I just don't see him surviving too long against someone who's as capable at taking down machine gunners as York is. York's experiences on the battle field have tailored him to take down someone just like Milhais, and considering his pistol feat as well, the machine gunner's entourage won't give him too much trouble either. Winner: Alvin York!
