User blog comment:Deathblade 100/NATO's worst enemies: Somali Pirates vs Taliban/@comment-4698460-20160827012807

This is AFRASIA!!!!

Long Range: Tie. It's a Squad Automatic Weapon against a General Purpose Machine Gun. You aren't exactly going to be able to run around with a PKM, but once you find that right spot, you and your 250 round belts are going to be able to chew up whatever people charge your way thanks to it's superior bullet. Meanwhile, with the RPD I can run around with it, and fire faster, but I always have to be on the move. So tie!

Mid Range: Somali Pirates. We have a assault rifle vs an assault carbine/submachine gun thingy. While some odds are against it (range and fire rate), the AK-47 has proved time and time again that newer isn't neccisarily better. Being an assault rifle, accuracy will be a bit better (though most AKs aren't famous for it) and it does pack the heavier bullet.

Short Range: Taliban. I have absolutely no idea how the grappling hook will be of any use to the pirates here.. unless the Taliban are on a boat? Anyway, the Bayonet can be used as a weapon in it's own right, and even attached to the AKS-74 to be a pike thingy.

Special: Somali Pirates. The PMN is a static weapon, meant to be used when the enemy is not paying very much heed to where he is going. It does pack a lot more explosive, but the enemy will have to blunder into it. Meanwhile, the RPG is reloadable, and can take out infantry just as easy as tanks!

X-Factors: Taliban. The sheer fanatiscism and training will probably overwhelm the more experienced Somalis.

Deadliest Warrior: Taliban!!! I know my votes seem to tell it the other way, but the Taliban will take this after a very, very, very, hard and brutal fight. They have the sheer willpower and training to take this fight, and while the Pirates do have more XP, the Taliban are more experienced in straight up shootouts than the Somalis. The Somalis are used to fast raids on enemy boats, but in a prolonged firefight with an determined enemy, they all seem to just... melt away.
