Teach 'em all the way.
 * Melee- CLAIMED! A knife made for killin' beats a knife made for butcherin'. Better grip, better blade, better weapon.


 * Close Range- CLAIMED! This shouldn't be an argument, the M1911 is the classic American handgun still used a good 75 years later. The Colt packs a bigger, better .45 ACP round beating out Gareth's pebble 9mm and more range, only losing out in magazine size, but with a better round, that may not matter.


 * Mid Range- CLAIMED! A classic debate, and a close one. The Type-56 is a less reliable AK-47 knock-off while the M16 has accuracy, range, and a superior rate of fire on its side, overcoming the jam proneness.


 * Long Range- TERMINATED! Both of these weapons are pretty much dead even in round size, but while the Mosin is a great long range sniping weapon it loses out to the M14 in magazine size and rate of fire.

'THE DEADLIEST BANDITS! JOE & THE CLAIMERS!-' The Claimers are much more hardened and experienced in the undead world and are willing to fire first while the Termites are more hesitant to kill their potential source of food, not to mention they are mostly sheltered from the outside world and while they have a good set-up, they are oblivious to attackers and inaccurate with their weapons as shown in the Season 5 premiere. Gareth and Joe may both be cocky, but I'd side with the ruthless biker over an angry Apple store employee anyday.
