Lets see shall we

Melee 

The Riot Shield gives a great deal of protection against melee attacks and could possibly even stop small arms fire depending on what material it's made of. The 2x4 is a fucking useless weapon and I doubt would be able to get kills against a unarmoued opponent let alone one carrying a Riot Shield.

Edge: New Marais Militia 

Pistol 

The SIG Sauer not only has almost double the ammo count of the Colt but it also has the faster rate of fire due to it's double-action firing system. The Colt may be more powerful but this is offset by the fact that it has to be cocked between every shot and this wastes precious seconds that could be the difference between taking down an opponent or not.

Edge: New Marais Militia 

Shotgun 

The Mossberg is the more sophisticated and better desgined shotgun with a higher ammo count and a higher stopping power. The Sawn Off is not desgined to be a military grade weapon and thus falls short in these areas.

Edge: Fireflies 

Assault Rifle 

The M16 has the further effective range and the faster ROF and is also much lighter which is especially helpful to the likely fatigued Fireflies as well as giving better battlefield manoeuvrability.

Edge: Fireflies 

Explosives
