"You're just making assumptions Truncheon, not facts, but assumptions."

Because the nature of the engagment is not explicitly stated by Solo, whether noted or not we are all making assumptions.

In fact Cfp noted his and oddly you didn't call him out on it.

A couple of reason why I assumed a meeting engagment though. 1 because thats kinda how this wiki's inpiration ( Deadliest Warrior ) tended to work and because I figured Solo was after a modicum of fairness in set up.

In other words if he's giving one person better starting position, I'll agree with you that this is unfair. It's also not worth discuss at that point though.

"The way you called out on the Tac is false. It doesn't mean that the weapon is heavy, it makes it an automatic crew served weapon. It wasn't designed to be a crew served weapon either. its just a common misconception that a .50 BMG rifle needs a sniper team to be operated, when in fact, a sniper team is not a neccessity. It can be used solely by one man, and if you do know shit about Chris kyle, then you have to know that most of his kills were done solely by himself with no spotters."

Perhaps you should reread what I wrote I said the Tac is best used in that way and better suited for that kind of work then the Winchester. Not that it couldn't be used by a single operater on the move just that it's not as well suited for such work as the 70. Which given the mere size difference of the weapons. Should be freakishly obvious. Let me ask wich would you prefer to pack around and bring to bear quickly a 14lbs 4ft long rifle or one almost literaly half its size.

"Did I also forget to mention that the Tac has twice the range of the Winchester, is made up of softer materials that reduces recoil, has a pistol grip, a compensator, bipod, buffer stock, a detachable mag for faster reloading, and let's not even go with the optics."

The optimal range for both is inside like 1,600m can they shoot/hit targets further out under the right conditions sure, but then again so can some American Civil War rifles. As for the rest of it, its all nifty and useful and stuff, but its also more weight and more stuff that can break and cause problems.

"And let's not even go to the other weapons. Do you even know how unfair it is to compare a Colt m1911 against a Sig Sauer?"

I'd be more then willing to, but perhaps you're right. It's not fair to the SIG which is a perfectly adequate pistol in its own right.
