BG1's "Green with Envy" Edges:

Short - I remember a match done some time ago where someone said of a knife with a serrated edge that it can cause some serious and more devastating wounds than a simple sharp knife edge *cough*Malmedy vs Dunkirk*cough*... and like my vote in that battle based on the idea, this is an even edge

EDGE: Even

Medium - The Glock has 2 more rounds in the chamber compared to the M9 which could make the difference but the M9 ends up with the higher muzzle velocity of 381m/s compared to the Glock's 375m/s (only just)

EDGE: Even

Long Range 1 - With a higher muzzle velocity, longer range and beneficial attachments on it, the M4A1 Tactical Carbine definitely wins out here, end of story.

EDGE: Green Berets

Long Range 2 - Both similar in terms of specs save for the SR-25 having a faster rate of fire over the FR F2 but I'm willing to guess that the FR F2 has the higher muzzle velocity/deadlier rounds than the SR-25 with both evening it out in range component; with this in mind I'm gonna call this even for now

EDGE: Even

Battle Tendencies - Interesting category you got us looking at here... my opinion here is that the Green Berets have the better tactics of hiding in wait since they are not that stupid to accidentally give away their position; like you said, the FNC may have the drive to find their enemies but that sounds like a "charge, charge, charge" strategy with no room for contingency whereas the Berets can simply afford to hide and execute an ambush

EDGE: Green Berets

X-Factors - Average of 81 for the FNC; Average of 82.25 for the Berets

EDGE: Green Berets (just)

Overall Winner: Green Berets, no question about it. Sure the FNC and Berets came close in the X-Factors and some of the weapons edges but there are some things that the Berets have that the FNC don't - 1) an extensive history of worldwide operations leading them which gives greater and more diversified experience; 2) a better weapon where it counts in the assault rifle category especially when you take into account the idea that the M4A1 has some tactical attachments on it that could give the Berets a boost; and 3) a better strategy, of hiding in wait and executing an ambush, which is more useful in an urban combat scenario like this
