"We came in spastic... like tameless horses.  Came back in plastic.... as numbered corpses.  And we were sharp! As sharp as knives! And we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives!" - Billy Joel, Goodnight Saigon

Long Range: RPD has this all the way. Deadliest Warrior can try to make excuses for how they say the RPK was more practical, however, the RPD has over double the ammo capacity and the same range and round. Edge: Charlie

Mid Range: 7.62 Tokarev is a puny round, and so is .32 ACP ( know.  I've been shot by a .32 and lived) Both are "room brooms" and the higher mag capacity is almost enough to want to choose the MAT, but, the better range and fire rate make me go for the Klobb... I mean Skorpion. Edge: IRG

Short Range:  Not every day when a 9mm outpowers a pistol, but, it is this day! Better mag capacity, bigger round, how can you go wrong? Edge: IRG

Special: Punji Stakes are neat and all, but, not too effective when half the battle is in an urban setting. The combat knife won't be too great, but, good enough to guarantee a kill while the stakes are very iffy. Edge: IRG

Explosives:  The RGD-5 is a nice bang for your buck, but, the bigger boom the VC bring with the mine & F1 grenade combo is just nasty. I think part of me knows the combination is impractical, however, the IRG won't see it coming as well. Edge: Charlie

X-Factors: IRG has them where it matters, Logistics and Training. Edge: IRG

Winners: IRG are better armed and trained. Should be a massacre, when the only reason the VC won the war, was because the war was so unpopular on the American front that we retreated. They were getting beat like a drum, and it was almost merciful on our part. IRG aren't a lot better, but much more effective force, winning about 592-408
