El Alamein's "That's One Less Loose End" Edges:

 Short Range: Desert Eagle vs. Beretta:  Normally, a higher caliber bullet in a handgun translates to greater stopping power, giving you a huge advantage in a frantic close-quarter battle. However, the Desert Eagle takes "high caliber" to a ridiculous level with the .50 cal, and the recoil it delivers after each shot makes proper aiming almost impossible. The Beretta's 9mm might not blow your arm off like the DEagle's .50, but at least you can fire successive shots at your target without having the blowback smash into the bridge of your nose. Add in the fact that the Beretta has more than double the Desert Eagle's magazine and is far lighter and more compact, and you've got a winning pistol.

Edge: League of Shadows

 Close Range: Benelli M1014 vs. Double-Barrel Sawn-Off:  The sawn-off is a good weapon for clandestine operations and it's pretty useful for underground groups that can't bring in a lot of funding... but it's certainly no military-grade weapon. The shortened barrels offer compact maneuverability, but at the cost of shortening an already feeble effective range. And having to reload after only two shots won't buy you any favors in a drawn-out firefight. The Benelli M1014 is a reliable pump-action shotgun that holds far more rounds in the internal tubular magazine - and its standardized 12-gauge shot means you know how your rounds are going to perform each and every time. The double barrel fires an assortment of shotgun shells, and that wide variety means you can't be sure if the ammo you're bringing is right for the job. Easy edge for Shepherd's Shadow Company.

Edge: Shadow Company

 Medium Range: Vector vs. Mini-Uzi:
