Affectos's Emotions: "So...they have acces to hammerspace?"

Melee: Okay, so in terms of long term damage, the wrench can break bones, but the knife will cause bleeding that will keep bleeding unless patched. This blood will mess with the victim's grip on their gun and possibly throw them off.

Handgun: I'm not going to go into the details, but faster reload and more ammo. Beretta

Shotgun: Franchi has the option to switch to better adjust to the current situtation. Franchi

Assault Rifle: The M4A1 is a tried, tested, and true rifle that has smaller caliber bullets that should pierce body armor easier.

Submachine Gun: The ability to swtich to semi-auto and more ammo will help it's user more than its competition. Bizon

...Look, I'm not  a gun expert, and I'm just going to cut the crap and say what I've been reading and hearing from those who I ask about it, and that's the training. You have a plumber who had very little military experience who had to take up arms to rescue his brother going up against an ex-marine who has gone through basic training and then some. Stone had to learn on the fly, but Jacobs has experience from before the Koreans and during.

I have to call the winner here as Jacobs with this. In my opinion, the weapons become a moot point once this fact emereges.
