BG1's "Shadows in the Island"

Short Range: Despite the incredible stopping power of the Deagle, it has horrid accuracy which is not useful in this battle. The fact that the Privateers also have SOME combat training isn't going to help them use the Deagle well either.

EDGE: Shadow Company

Medium Range: The Benelli M4 stocks more ammo than the MP-133 and has a higher rate of fire even though it is slightly heavier than the MP-133

EDGE: Shadow Company

Long Range 1: As others have pointed out, the ACR is more accurate and has lower recoil than the P416. Not enough info on the latter gun though so I can't say for sure whether the P416 is in fact more powerful than the ACR but anyway...

EDGE: Shadow Comapny

Long Range 2: It all depends on the ammo you use for the PP-19 that determines the range the PP-19 has but it has a lower rate of fire than the Vector. The large magazine of the PP-19 cancels that advantage out however.

EDGE: Even

X-Factors: Simply, Shadow Company dominate in the most important edges of training, tenacity and I can argue experience because they have to fight against TF141 and they are a pretty tough bunch compared to the animals and natives and the inexperienced Jason Brody

EDGE: Shadow Company

Overall Winner: Shadow Company takes this one without a hitch - they have the superior weapons and X-Factors where it matters. As ex-military soldiers, they will know how the military Privateers will act (even if the Company don't know who they are) and run circles around them tactics-wise. The Privateers might make things difficult for the Company though since they might as well have the terrain advantage but either way...
