MoA's Edges:

Long Range: PKM vs. RPD. As others before me have stated, these weapons are different in their usage but I'm inclined to give it to the PKM. The PKM may be heavier and have a slower rate of fire but once mounted, its superior bullet and ammunition will easily tear down any offensive attempts from the Taliban.

Edge: Somali Pirates

Mid Range: AK-47 vs. AKS-74U. Statistically, the AKS-74U seems better in every way. While not truly an assault rifle, it possesses equal magazine capacity, longer range and a higher fire rate. It may possess a smaller caliber but its upsides outweigh its downsides in my point of view.

Edge: Taliban

Melee: Grappling Hook vs. Bayonet. The grappling hook is cumbersome and while those barbs may be very deadly, they're a danger to the user as well. The bayonet is truly meant for combat and can be mounted onto the AKS to be, as LB said, a "pike thingy".

Edge: Taliban

Explosives: RPG-7 vs. PMN mine. A mine is static. An RPG-7 is reloadable and not static. See where I'm going?

Edge: Somali Pirates

Overall Winner: Taliban

The Taliban's superior training will make this a very, very close fight but ultimately a victory for the Taliban.
