El Alamein's "Communist Asia" Edges:

 Close Range: TT-33 vs. ... TT-33:  While everyone has said "they're the same thing," in cases like this where the same weapon is being compared to itself, one should examine the warriors using the weapon. Mao's Communist infantrymen are hardened soldiers who have fought a limited war against the Japanese and defeated Chiang Kai-Shek's Nationalists. Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge troops are much greener (inexperienced to combat) and they didn't really fight a war, just massacre civilians. When they did fight the Chinese and Vietnamese, they had their asses handed to them. So easy win for the Chinese Communist troops because they're the better warriors... oh, wait. Just spoiled the ending.

Edge: Mao Zedong

 Mid Range: PPS 43 vs. MP-18:  The MP-18 is an outdated weapon compared to the PPS. It's heavier, it's got the smaller mag (although I don't really believe that 3 rounds will make a difference, but it's something), and ultimately the 9mm bullet of the MP-18 is inferior to the PPS's 7.62 Tokarev round - it's still a pistol cartridge, but it's modified by the Soviets to be able to defeat body armor.

Edge: Pol Pot

''' Long Range: RPD vs. ZB vz. 26: ''' The RPD's much larger magazine gives it a huge advantage off the bat, but you have to take reloading into consideration. It's a lot tougher and takes more time to pull out a drum mag, insert a new one, and feed in the belt than it does to change a box mag. Still, an 80 round difference is huge and the RPD's lighter weight and larger round only help to give it the edge.

Edge: Pol Pot

 Explosives: ChiCom Grenade vs. Type 59:  Yeah, as both Deadliest Warrior and the users who've voted below have stated, the ChiCom grenade is less likely to roll, can be thrown farther because of the handle thingy, and can have a screen with nails attached.

Edge: Pol Pot

WINNER: MAO ZEDONG

Boy, if you hadn't read that close range edge, that would've come as a surprise, huh? Yeah, Mao might be outgunned and out-bombed, but so was Saddam Hussein and both of them will beat the Cambodian dictator for the same reason: they're saner than him. The sad thing is, Pol Pot only turned his tools of terror on his own people with any means of efficiency. He had two failed wars against the Vietnamese and Chinese, and that's what lost him favor and ultimately led to his removal from power. Mao Zedong is leading battle-harded troops who have fought combat competent enemies, and it's that battle experience that will give them the discipline and mentality necessary to win.
