Sith-venator Wavingstrider's Edges!


 * For Melee I am giving it to the Butcher Cleaver just due to it's massive size and power. EDGE: Theron Guard


 * For Pistols I am giving it to the Gorgan Pistol, it's magazine size and firerate is far superior to the M9 and probably has a larger caliber bullet as well. EDGE: Theron Guard


 * For Assault Rifles both are pretty equal no doubt but I am giving it to my favorite type of gun, the battle rifle, with the FN SCAR-H sporting a larger magazine it has the edge in the fight. EDGE: Army Rangers


 * For Shotguns I am giving it to the Beneli M4, it has a faster rate of fire. EDGE: Army Rangers


 * For Sniper Rifles I am giving it to the M110, having a 20 round magazine and being semi-automatic is a huge edge against a one shot bolt action sniper rifle even if it has a larger round (assuming). EDGE: Army Rangers


 * For Explosives I am giving it to the FN40 Grenade Launcher, not only can it be fired faster it is also attached to the Ranger's rifle. EDGE: Army Rangers

OVERALL WINNER: Army Rangers-Theron Guards are pretty nasty buggers, and are a pain to the Gears, but the Gears aren't using this kind of weaponary. The only problem here for the rangers is the thick hide of the Locust, but that shouldn't be a problem with the 7.62x51mm rounds they're flying down range. 3,000-2,000
