User blog comment:WraithOfWaffle/Battle Seventeen: Lara Croft (Tomb Raider Reboot) vs. Kazuo Kiriyama (Battle Royale)/@comment-422690-20160830040042

So...

Melee: Ice axe wins. It may not be designed for combat, but it provides the user with a lot more options than the wakizashi. Further, the X-factors imply that stealth will be a factor in the match, and the ice axe is far better suited for that than the longer, heavier wakizashi. Furthermore, the ice axe is also a traversal tool; it can help Lara move and ambush Kiriyama from places the latter wouldn't notice.

Pistol: Beretta 92SB wins. Larger mag, larger caliber (if I'm doing my conversions correctly), higher muzzle velocity, which means it's likely got greater range and the bullet has more kinetic energy even if I did the conversions wrong. This one's an easy edge.

Hand Cannon: Python wins. Yes, it's a revolver and the reload's a bitch. But it's not going to be spraining wrists, causing cartilage and tendon damage, or even breaking a wrist if Lara decides to be stupid and fire it with one hand.

SMG: I have to give this one to the Type-100. All the Uzi's advantages as an SMG are utterly nullified by the way Kazuto uses it. Specifically aiming to use suppressive fire isn't going to get him any kills. It'll keep Lara's head down, but that only lasts until he runs out of ammo. Firing on full auto, this is all of 3 seconds. Lara's use of the Type-100 is more practical and more lethal, meaning this edge is given not because of the weapon but because of the wielder.
