Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edgy Edgines-AMERICA!


 * Short Range- Even. These being the exact same gun and all, I don't see one being more effective than the other. Based solely on the information provided here, Mao's soldiers look like they'd be trained in its use better, and thus have an easier time wielding it, but I'm not willing to make that kind of call in this kind of field without additional information on their tactics and skill with these pistols.


 * Medium Range- Pol Pot. The MP-18 is an antiquated tool compared to the more modern PPS, and while it'll still put up a significant fight, it's simply outclassed by the lighter, faster firing weapon with more ammo and a stronger bullet.


 * Long Range- Pol Pot. The ZB letters'n'numbers is a much older, out dated weapon- it's heavier, it's less reliable, it has significantly less ammo, and while the ZB may fire faster and with a larger bullet, the RPD is easily able to gain a tactical edge with its 80 round difference and its much lighter weight, allowing Pot's men to traverse the environment easier and set up new tactics and unleash hell much easier.


 * Special- Pol Pot. The stick is more accurate, as long as you give it a good toss, it'll chill where you put it, and not go all hogwild elsewhere and miss the target entirely because elevation and shit.


 * X-Factors- Mao. Loyalty is an important factor for any army or squad, but both sides are equal here. Brutality is not a major factor- it doesn't give them a significant edge in combat just because they're more sadistic, and in some cases, it can be detrimental to a professional more interested in getting a job done. And that's where Mao's pinko-commie scumbags shine- they're more professional. They're smarter, they're better trained, they possess superior logistics- these are all far more important factors than being more bloodthirsty.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Mao's Pinko-Commie Pieces of Human Garbage. Hey man, better dead than Red and all, but Mao's men are much more skilled and trained, and while Pol Pot's forces are packing better weaponry, it's not such a huge chasm that I'm willing to side with better tech over better brains and skills.
