Affectos's Emotions: "Sweet (undead) Mother Russia!"

Close:  Since not much skin is exposed when in their armor, the fangs won't due much. The gun on the other hand has bullets (while not silver) that can do a bit more damage if it hits the right place. Edge: Spetsnaz

Mid Range: Cue the eternal Star Wars question: 'who shot first?'  If the Vampire makes the first move, then at least Spesnaz is getting a snapped neck, but conversly, this gives another Spetsnaz the chance to fire on him. While not possibly killing him, it'll wound him at least. So that's a kill for the Vampire, but only a wound for the Russians. Edge: Vampires

Long: I never want to come face-to-face with a Vampire wielding any kind of rifle, but a fully-armed Spetsnaz...is even worse. The roar deals no damage and no doubt that the Spetsnaz will hardly be fazed by the shouts of the undead. Edge: Spetsnaz

Special:  The RGD5 and Ballistic Knife will only do any good if the Vampire is stopped moving (for a kill) or a they somehow manage to sneak up behind one. Even then though, the ballistic knife requires extreme aim to score a kill. I'll go with the above human stats of the Vampire on this one. Edge: Vampire

While both teams are designed to resist and ignore pain, the Spetsnaz are still human. They're slower, weaker (physically), and have the better reaction time and senses. Unless a Spetsnaz is able to hold out til sunrise and drive the ballistic knife into his heart, the Vampires carry the match for me.
