''Yay... more armed thugs have come to visit''

'''Sidearm: Vaas's Pirates. ''' The M1911's .45 ACP lacks stability at maybe past 150 yards, with that probably being max effective range. It might also lack the stopping power of the Desert Eagle, but the M1911 wins here because of a higher fire rate and less recoil. A .50 caliber bullet is not joke, as you can't really hide from them, but the fact that the M1911 is also a lighter weapon is what gives it the edge in my vote.

'''SubMachine Gun: Brazilian Militia. '''The Agram 2000 is bascially a Croatian copy of the Italian Berreta M12. The MP5K has a higher rate of fire and a bigger clip (it depends on the variant of the Agram/Berreta, some come with 20 rounds, others 32 and 40). It also has a higher muzzle velocity. The MP5K is also a lighter weapon than the Agram. Those combined is what give the Brazilian Militia this edge.

'''Assault Rifle: Even. '''They both use Ak-47's.

'''Shotgun: Vaas's Pirates. '''The Model 1887 carries one more round that the MP-133 (standard MP-133 carries four rounds). They both fire the same gauge of rounds, and the MP-133 is about .3 kiligrams lighter than the Model 1887. I would call this even, but the MP-133 is a pump action, which should give it a smidgen higher fire rate than the 1887.

'''Machine Gun: Brazilian Militia. '''I have to give this to the Militia, unlike the other vote. The idea of the RPD might be about 20 years older than the PKM, but I still think it's a bit better in this scenario. The RPD has the same effective firing range of the PKM (about 1000 yards) and holds the same amount of rounds in the default belt-holding boxes (that being 100). The RPD is lighter by about .22 pounds, and unlike the PKM, is designed to be more controllable when firing from the hip. The PKM is pretty hard to control without using the bipod or tripod, which also adds more weight to it.

'''Explosive 1: Even. ''' They both use RPG-7's.

'''Explosive 2: Brazilian Militia. '''Yes, the GM-94 has more rounds than the Thumper, but I still have this one going for the Militia, as the only thing the GM-94 can do is fire grenades, sure, many types of grenades, but only grenades. The Thumper (basically an M79 Blooper grenade launcher) can fire many different types of grenades like the GM-94, but it makes up for it's single shot capability with the ability to turn itself into a single shot, kick-ass shotgun with flechette and buckshot rounds.

'''X-Factors: Vaas's Pirates. '''The Vaas's Pirates have more X-Factor edges, and a higher average.

'Deadliest Warrior: Brazilian Militia! 'Vaas's Pirates might have the experience bonus and vehicle advantage here, but the fact that (in my book) the brute firepower and more versatile weapons and vehicles the Brazilian Militia can bring to the fight will carry the day for them. The RPD can be both fired fairly easily from the hip, and can also be fired from a bi/tripod. The Thumper can also be fire way more different types of rounds than the GM-94. The Technicals are very unpredictable vehicles also. It won't be an easy fight, far from it, but the Brazilian Militia has the weapons with greater versatility and greater brute firepower that should be able to handle the more experienced pirates.
