' Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] EDGES: "Crime doesn't pay... or does it?" '

Weapons

Melee

Tuco gets an easy edge here, since the Switchblade is only useful in stealth battles where weapons need to be well concealed. The Bowie knife is specifically crafted for combat situations like this, and has much greater slashing and stabbing potential. EDGE: TUCO SALAMANCA

Pistol

Tuco packs in more firepower after looking into some slight research, although the difference is marginal. Credit where credit is due, however. EDGE: TUCO SALAMANCA

Assault Rifle

Being a more modern weapon, the M4 has its perks, but looking at a side by side analysis of the two shows the M16 to still pack a punch in: Area Range, Muzzle Velocity, and Barrel Length. I'm going to still give this close edge to Tuco, who has a higher ammo pool to fire from at a higher Target range. EDGE - TUCO SALAMANCA

Explosive

While the C4 placements allow for strategic traps an insta-kills, Tony's weapon can be directed where ever he pleases, and has a larger range of effect due to the mobility of the round fired. Also, Tony's weapon can adapt to different combat situations, whereas the C4 has a large room for failure solely depending on the chance Tony to his men are near one. EDGE: TONY MONTANA

SMG

Smaller, more compact, and more ammo, the Uzi has many advantages over its counterpart, and will get more use than the technologically superior MP5, which will count more in this battle. EDGE: TONY MONTANA

X- Factors

See below.

OVERALL WINNER - TONY MONTANA

I realize that Tuco technically scores more than Tony in terms of physical combat skill and experience, however I believe Tony's craftiness will score him a win here. This is a battle of firearms, and Tony, having been trained as a Cuban soldier will be able to make more use of his slightly less superior weapons. Also, if one wants to make this a battle of pure firepower, Tony's explosive versatility will allow him to utilize his craftiness to its peak whereas Tuco will have trouble getting Tony trapped and killed with stationary C4. I can see Tuco winning if this turns into a hand-to-hand fight, but I can hardly see Tuco closing the distance with Tony's Uzi in hand.
