Rifles: This is a tough comparison as the Type 56 has the better range and rate of fire, but I don't think either are going to be much of an advantage. The range would be nice in a more open region, but the jungle limits the range of engagements and the city scene will be focused more as expected close urban combat. The rate of fire is nice, but with low level logistics going full auto is a massive risk and one they can't afford. The StG was the first of its kind and despite that it seems to aged well when compared to the AK-47 line. I'll bring up training in the later sections, but otherwise when comparing the firearms and logistics, the SS would get the edge here. EDGE: Waffen SS

Machine Guns: As Wass said it terms of raw stats the MG-42 blows the RPD completely out of the water, like its borderline unfair when being compared to stats. Any Cong that end up encountering the MG 42 will soon come to regret it as many Allied soldiers did when they came face to face with Hitler's buzzsaw. The RPD is lighter and more portable along with the ability to be reloaded with ease due to the drum magazine here. Still, I'd call the RPD more of an inflated rifle compared to the MG-42 which serves its purpose as a machine gun to a greater degree. The jungle arena, the RPD will certainly prove much more effective, but the MG-42 serves urban environment much greater. EDGE: Even
