Guitarcar's "Scopey no-scopey"

Primary:

.Both snipers here have an advantage over the other. The Karabiner is much more accurate with a heavier and powerful round with a smoother bolt which gives it a faster cyclic rate while the Finnish Nagnant has a faster muzzle velocity and range.

Problem is. Simo Hayha often fights his opponents at 800 yards. Reducing the Range advantage.

Simo does not use a scope. This puts his Nagnant's accuracy at a disadvantage.

Edge: Karl Faireburn

Secondary:

The KP-31 packing more lead gives Simo at an advantage. The KP-31 can beat the Thompson M1A2 at nearly all aspects but range and accuracy.

Major Edge: Simo Hayha

X-Factors:

Training, Accuracy and experience goes to Karl Fairburne as he has seen and fought more unpredicatble battles than Simo. His ability to see stuff in some sort of slow motion gives him an edge.

Camo gives Simo a big advantage as he will be able to hide much better than his ill-prepared foe.

Fighting styles is a bit confusing for me.

Simo could stay put longer and stay hidden in passive sniping. He can outbeat Karl in a regular sit and snipe fight.

Karl is the opposite and will aggresively pursuit enemies stealthily and will place traps to give himself an advantage.

It seems as if luck would determine which fighting style gets the job over the other.

Slight Edge: Karl Fairburne

Results:

It seems the Karl's special training and a rifle more suited to out-scope his enemy has given him the advantage in the fight by a very very small margin.

The reason Karl wins in my opinion is that Simo has never fought an opponent that fights as mobile and as accurate as Karl.

While Simo might be able to outsnipe Karl at long term sit and snipes. Karl's playstyle absolutley makes it impossible for Simo to gain this advantage as Karl will use the terrain as leverage for a quick attack.

With all that said. Karl gets a slightly higher win chance.

Result: Karl Phyric Victory
