My edge to Jim Raynor

Melee Range: Jim with Power Armor: While Shephard has the blade It is slightly clumsy has to appear and can only be used with one arm while a simple punch from Jim would basically be a game over.

Short Range: Shephard with the Predator: Jim's Revolver is not a practical weapon it is more of a sentimental valuw than anything. While Jim uses it to great skill and accurate it still has neither the firepower nor the accuracy as the Preadator.

Mid Range: Jim with the C-14: While all of Shephards weapons are deadly and the technology behind is superior the way shephards shield are setup up is with light mass fast projectiles the technology of the gun was shaving off a fraction of a piece of material then using the mass effect to send the round out. That is why you never need ammo anything can be used as ammo for the mass effect guns. The weapons when it came to Jim's power armor could possibly penetrate it but would love so much velocity in doing so that it would not nearly have enough stopping power. While Jim's bullets have greater mass and a faster fire rate which would drain shepahards shields pretty fast, and drop him to the ground.

Long Range: Jim with the HEV: While the mantis is a great sniper rifle and fills the role admirably the HEV is in all since of the word overkill. Meant to give one man the ability to take on heavily armored enemies from an extremely long distance the point of it being used against a single man would result in a most gruesome death.

Special: Tie: While many of you will disagree with this hear me out. Biotics while are a great advantage Jim Has had to deal with and entire psychic race the Protoss Ghost that have very similar abilities and the Queen Of Blades. So no surprise their but an Incovience all the same And while the plasma rifle would most likely be a one shot kill I believe the HEV is also  It's just harder to miss with the Plasma Rifle.



Some additional data: Shephard May have had to deal with some alien races that have some amazing Technology but he has always had access to the best technology at hand while Jim has had to go against races that are light years ahead technologically.
