Just to get this out of the way the Taurus's carried by SG-1 are meant to be Beretta M9. They were used when the production didn't have access to the Berreta 92FS the civilian designation for the M9. Just like most of the full sized Uzi's used by the A-Team were actually MAC-10's dressed up to look like Uzi's. It's also possible given squib hits and sound effects that the A-Teams Mini-14's are actually meant to be AC-556 rifles. The military version of the mini-14. That is full auto capable.

That said for the sake of comparison. i am going to assume SG-1 is carrying M9, that Peck's rifle is a AC-556, and that Murdock's SMG is an Uzi. If this is some how a problem I can re-assess. Under other guidlines.

Pistol Comparison: I can compare the M9 to the individual pistols in more dpth if needed. However I think i is safe to say it gets the edge over all. For brief bit of detail as to why Hannibal's snub nose is going to lack accuracy/practical range, it and the lawman are at serious disadvantage in terms of ammo capactiy. Now the Hi-Power and P9S get closer escecially the Hi-Power which can carry up to 13 rounds, plus one in the tube I pressume.That's not quite the 16 of the M9, but given then Browing reliablity/ruggedness. It alone I'd be tempted to give the edge to SG-1 for the M9, but with the other pistols the A-Team are fielding holding it back the edge has to go to SG-1. Another thing to consider that swing it in SG-1 favor is logistics seeing as they are all using the same weapon they can share ammo. For that matter O'Neill and Jackson can use it in their MP5's as well.

Submachine Gun Comparison: So the MP5's vs the Uzi's. This would be fairer if the micro-uzi wasn't involved, being short barrelled weapon, predominantly fired with one hand. Its gonna have range issues. Even fired two handed and shouldered its smaller size and lack of forward grip is going to negatively effect its accuracy. To be fair the micro-Uzi is going to have the ROF advantage. That said practical range based on ergonomics favor the MP5's meaning they can engage accurately before the Micro-Uzi will be consistently hitting targets. So edge SG-1 for the MP5. As another aside SG-1 has better fire discipline and routinely shoulders their weapons which is going to give them a distinct accuracy advantage.

Rifle comparison: Gun to Gun theirs little difference. Same caliber, similiar ROF if both get military grade full auto versions, similiar effective range. Even the difference it weight is negligible escpecially considering Faceman is likely stronger then Sam anyway. The one real difference that I can see is that Sam is crack shot who chooses her targets well and shoulders her weapon. So oweing perhaps more to the shooters then the weapon. Edge SG-1 for the XM177(the CAR-15 variant Carter should be using even if the props was a chopped and converted AR-15 variant).

So now for the weird one M60 vs shotgun: First off with all the machine guns SG-1 has used over the years I question this choose of weapons. FN Minimi's/SAWs are seen in use enough and used by Teal'c that its seems a better option for comparing to the M60 then a shotgun. That said as it stand the A-Team get the edge for the M60. It got better range, ROF, just as much lethality. Yeah all in all no real comparison here.

One more weapon was listed. Faceman was listed as having a Mk 2 grenade, but not only is SG-1 one not provided a comparitve weapon, but the match creator didn't mention the grenade in their write up so I am going to assume it was some sort of mistake.

Okay so the wrap up. SG-1 has got the edge in 3 catagories, but the M60 could be a deal breaker its got the best range of anything in the field and spits out rounds damn fast. However it all maybe for not because the A-Team is prone to fireing one hand or from the hip( Murdock being the most likely to shoulder a weapon), where as Teal'c not with standing SG-1 tends to use two handed grips on pistols and fire from the shoulder with rifles and SMGs. So as mentioned above the their fire is going to be more accurate. This and, regardless of what the match creator says, SG-1's better tactical movement and doctrine. Is going to net SG-1 the victory.
