Let's see shall we

Personal 

Yeah I'll take a automatic machine gun against a pistol and a machete any day.

Edge: Jack D. Ripper

Melee 

We don't know if Ripper's men would be carrying knives or not but even if they were I'd still give the edge to Kurtz for a greater variety of choice in a melee battle.

Edge: Walter E. Kurtz 

SMG

The Thompson and the Grease Gun have the greater stopping power with their more powerful rounds but that's about all they have going for them. The MAT-49 and Madsen have the slightly higher magazine count (might not seem like much but every bullet counts in a firefight), a lower recoil owning to their smaller rounds and the faster rate of fire on average (the Thompson may have the highest rate of fire but they both outclass the Grease Gun by some distance in ROF).

Edge: Walter E. Kurtz 

Rifle

The Remington has the range and stopping power advantage as you would expect with a sniper rifle but the Garand will be more useful in the heat of battle due to it's faster rate of fire and larger magazine size. How much use the Remington will see is debatable but the Garand will definitely be useful in a firefight so I'm giving it the edge for it's greater practical use.

Edge: Jack D. Ripper
