User blog comment:Thundrtri/Season 2 Episode 8: GROM VS JTF2/@comment-4098900-20130214011743

Hawk's Hawk-Eyed Edges:

*Melee: Both use the same weapons so......

Edge: Even


 * Close Range: The Benelli has a huge advantage over the Remington.  Both have the same amount of ammo.  The same range.  Fire the same rounds.  However, the Benelli is semi-auto.  While JTF2 is certainly very quick on that pump, GROM will be able to shoot considerably faster without the pump.  Glock's got an advantage over the Sig Sauer.  17 rounds Vs. 7 rounds.  Plus it has a higher rate of fire.

Edge: GROM.


 * Mid Range: The C8 is much like the M4.  The HK416 is going to replace it.  It has several spare compartmens to keep spare parts.  It is also as reliable as an AK.  It's virtually impossible for it to jam.  A C8 will jam.  The P90 has a higher rate of fire, is slightly more compact, and fires a larger round.  it's a bit less accurate, but still pretty accurate.  Each side takes an edge here.  If the battle takes place in an urban environment, jamming won't be an issue. The HK does have a considerably longer range however.  Although this again depends on the range that they will be engaging.  There's a fair chance this could be in the jungle or desert where jamming would be an issue, and might take place at a long range.  However this was simply not stated.  The P90 takes an edge over the MP5 that isn't really based off of chance.  But I'll call this a tie due to the chance.

Edge: Tie


 * Long Range: The Tac 50 has a slightly longer range.  However, I don't see GROM and JTF2 engaging at 2,000 yards.  Or a thousand yards even.  So the 2,000 to 1,800 range advantage won't really be an issue.  The Tac 50 is bolt action.  M107's semi-auto.  It also holds 5 more rounds.

Edge: GROM

Special: Pretty much the samething so.....

Edge: Even

Overall Winner: GROM really just takes all but one weapon edge. They've also got slightly superior operational experience. Being involved more heavily in Afghan and Iraq. They regularly go on missions and cross-train with US Navy SEALs. GROM also cross-trains with Delta, SAS, SBS, and most every NATO special forces counter part of theirs. GROM is simply slightly better trained, taking  all but one weapon edge, and slightly more experienced.
