Sith-venator Wavingstrider's Edges!


 * For Handgun the M6C/SOCOM uses the 12.7x40mm (.50 caliber) M228 Semi-Armor-Piercing High-Penetration rounds in a 12 round magazine and is equipped with a silencer to make things nice and quiet, plus it helps the recoil. A 10mm pistol cannot beat that. EDGE: ODSTs


 * For Shotgun we have an 8 Gauge dual mode shotgun (contrary to popular belief it can infact fire semi-auto) vs a PPSh-41 i mean Combat Shotgun <.< while the Combat Shotgun has a 12 round magazine it tends to be unreliable compared to UNSC weapons, and probably uses the weaker 12 gauge. EDGE: ODSTs


 * For Medium (u put the M7S against the G3 and the MA5C against a laser rifle, personally I think thats kind of stacking that in the favor of the BOS, so im gonna put them in the same category) the M7S Caseless Submachine fun fires a 48 5x23 round magazine and is equipped with a red dot sight and silencer, the MA5C fires a 32 round 7.62x51mm magazine with an ammo-counter. Both weapons are very reliable, and perform decent against shielded targets, better against just armor. The BOS fights back with pretty much a G3 with the 5.56x45mm and a laser rifle that only has a 24 round magazine, and not that much stopping power. Overall my edge goes to the ODSTs in Mid range. EDGE: ODSTs


 * For Long Range the .308 is no match for the 14.5x114mm. EDGE: ODSTs


 * For Explosive We have the mighty fatman vs the humble M41 rocket launcher. There is no doubt the fatman is powerfull, but it launches one little nuke at a time, and then has to be reloaded. The M41 can shoot two 102mm at a time (in universe not in game), and is reloaded with two rockets at once. I'm going to give the edge to the fatman due to the more stopping power. EDGE: BOS


 * For Extra we have the Spartan Laser vs the Gatiling Gun, the Gatiling gun has good accuracy and firerate, but the damage is nothing compared to the M6 Grindell, even if it has to charge up. EDGE: ODSTs

Overall Winner: Orbital Drop Shock Troopers-The Brotherhood of Steel fight a good fight, but even with their good weapons and armor they are not good enough to take down the Helljumpers. The ODSTs are bringing more reliable, more powerfull equipment not to mention some armor that comes second to the MJOLNIR, and maybe SPI armor. 3,500-1,500
