User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Vladimir Makarov (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare) vs Dimitri "Dima" Mayakovsky (Battlefield 3)/@comment-5790624-20120614084411

Internet on my phone means I can still vote every once in a while ;).

Well.. this is actually a very close match up, both of these guys bring brutal special forces training from the Russians which aims to intesify their capability in battle, so I'm going to have to do the traditional weapons comparison.

FN Five-seven vs. MP-443 Grach

Well the FN is at an advantage here as it weighs in at 610g while the Grach weighs in at 950g, and continues with advanatge with a large and suprisingly abnormal standard magazine of 20 rounds? Wikipedia Page on FN Five-seven, anyway, this in combination with the maximum range of 1,510m gives the FN the edge.

Edge: Makarov

Armsel Striker vs. Saiga-12

The Saiga kicks off with the advantage of weighing in at 3.6kg while the Striker weighs 4.4kg, the Saiga continues this advantage with a rotating bolt which is much more healthy for the gun than the Striker's rotating cylinder which will tire and eventually snap over time. The Saiga is only 2-rounds behind on magazine capacity of the Striker that is 12-rounds and the magazine of the Saiga means that it is easier to reload large amounts of shells than having to open the side switch and individually put in each round like the Striker, this overall gives the Saiga a slight edge.

Edge: Dima

AKSU-74 vs. AS Val

Both guns weigh in same at 2.7kg however the AS Val takes the advantage of 900r/m with rate of fire compared to the AK's 700r/m, however the AK evens it out with a muzzle velocity of 735m/s compared to the Val's 295m/s. The AK takes the lead with an advantage of effective range at 625m compared to the Val's 300m and finishes the kill with a magazine capacity of 30 rounds compared to the Val's 20 rounds.

Edge: Makarov

M4A1 Carbine vs. AEK-971

Both guns are evenly matched and have too similar statistics and strong points and weak points which leaves this at and even match.

Edge: Even

SVD (Dragunov) vs. Barrett M82

Well the SVD starts off with the key factor that it weighs in at 4.30kg compared to the Barrett's 14kg which gives the SVD a quite important edge, however the Barrett shoots back with a muzzle velocity of 853m/s compared to the SVD's 830m/s and a effective range of 1800m compared to the SVD's 800m, it does really depend on the scenairo where one of these snipers will win, they both have good points that make them lethal but a winner will only emerge based on the scenairo and what the person handling that Barrett will do so until then..

Edge: Even

M203 Grenade Launcher vs. GP-30

Both launchers weigh effectivley the same at 1.5kg however the GP fires at 251m/s compared to the M203's 250m/s which is VERY close and thus may count depending on whether these launchers are even in other specifications. The GP-30 has an effective range of up to 400m compared to the M203's 150m which brakes the stalemate and the GP continues it's advantage with it's reloading system, unlike the M203, the GP grenade system involves simply inserting the next grenade and locking it in place which is alot faster the M203's open and close system and thus brakes the stalemate and give the GP the edge.

Edge: Dima

Training and Combat Experience

Well, both these warriors have tasted blood and killed many foes, and both have received training for the brutal Spetsnaz however one crucial thing stands out here, Dima worked for the Spetsnaz then the GRU, the Russian intelligence agency. This combines both Spetsnaz training and GRU training which will be even harder than Spetsnaz training and thus Dima has an edge in his training and the advantage of close quarters combat which Dima appears to be slightly better in as shown here, there both have strong points and weak points in weaponary but Dima combines better close quarters combat, better explosive and close range weaponary and overall a mentally stable mind which gives Dima the slight edge.
