Let's see shall we

Melee

The Pukko and Gunto are fine weapons in their own right but the Bayonet has the ease of deployment being stuck on the end of the Arisaka. In the heat of battle, being able to just stab your opponent with your gun is much easier than trying to switch to a knife/sword.

Edge: Imperial Japanese Army

Handgun

While mostly similar in terms of stats the Lahiti does have the more powerful round and greater muzzle velocity. While having the more powerful pistol round isn't hugely important as neither are wearing armour it is nevertheless and advantage.

Edge: Finnish Winter Guard
