User blog comment:Pygmy Hippo 2/Stormtroopers (Star Wars) vs. Imperial Guardsmen (Warhammer 40,000)/@comment-25405125-20171113181407/@comment-25405125-20171114201734

Rifle: E-11

Let's assume they have the same damage output. Say what you want about Stormtrooper's accuracy. Lasgun has a lot of issues. As I said before, it has zero optics, while  E-11 has optics comparable to that of Tau Fire Warriors in paper. Secondly, E-11 is more reliable damage-wise while both have issues with rainstorm, E-11 only loose its accuracy while Lasgun loose its damage. Lasgun also has the same problem in muddy an foggy condition which E-11 doesn't have the same issue in such conditions. E-11 also gain compactness advantage for its CQC and more capacity. For me it's kinda like comparing a TAR-21 to an AKM. One is for elite soldiers, another for conscripts. Frankly, the true power of Lasgun is not individual gun, but a unison of several of them firing at one spot, capable of even bring down tanks or even gundam equivanant with a power of unity.

Machine Gun: DLT-19

This is the reason why I suggest Autocanon. DLT-19 is basically a Star War version of Hellgun. Which is used by Elite Imperial Guard troops with the same name as Star War's counterpart and can get through even space marine's power armor. Except it has longer barrel. Heavy Bolter deal more damage in terms of bigger hole, but it has less armor piercing capability with same dakka. Plus with portability issues, point goes to DLT-19

Launcher: Grenade Launcher

Both actually does the same damage. If used krak grenade, Grenade Launcher can bring down tanks. It also doesn't have to reload every shot. While PTS is guided missile like Imperial Missile Launcher (More specificallt Accetran pattern), Grenade Launcher can fire more rounds just to make sure it hits. Grenade Launchers also can be loaded with several grenade types, from Frag (common anti-infantry), Krak (Shaped Charge anti-vehicles) Stun, EMP or rarer types like Plasma (Beleive me, you don't want me to add this one)

Vehicle: Chimera

You know now why I ask for sentinel. Because AT-ST stand no chance. Aside from being amphibious. Chimera has much lover profile due to its conventional design. Its multilaser is based on Lascanon, the antitank beefened version of lasgun which hits like 120mm sabot tank gun round. So AT-ST's armor is pretty much a tissue paper. Chimera also has firing ports, allowing troops to fire their lasguns from the inside, which can eliminate infantry escort in some situation.

I'll do Xfactor later.
