User blog comment:Deathblade 100/Death from a far: BX Commandos (Star Wars) vs Kig-Yar (Halo)/@comment-27358240-20191215041840

Kazanshin's "My suggestion, hurray!" edges:

Snipers: Assuming this is the E-5s sniper rifle (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/E-5s_sniper_rifle/Legends) then I will have to give the edge to Type-51 carbine. We can't be fully sure about the exact range of the weapons, and it's likely the E-5s has the type-51's measly 2x magnification outclassed in that regard, but the thing that gives my edge to the Type-51 is its magazine capacity: it can carry the considerable amount of 18 rounds compared to the pitiful 4 shots of the E-5s. Considering a crashed spaceship likely won't be a fully sniper oriented battlefield and that the two sides will likely clas in some amount of closer-ranged combat, the superior ammo capacity of the Plasma Carbine wins the day for me. Edge: Jackal

Mid range: This time, it's a clash of accuracy vs capacity. The E-5 will have a way, waaaaay bigger ammo capacity compared to the Needler, while the needler's homing ability far outclasses the relatively innacurate design of the E-5. Shot for shot, the E-5 is far deadlier as it's been seen killing armored clone troopers in single shots. Considering the lack of energy shielding on the armor of the jackals, the E-5 will likely be dealing death at a far greater efficiency than the needler. That said, the BX aren't the most durable of the bunch, as seen when Captain Rex takes some down with his DC-17. Furthermore, the needler can cause smaller-scale explosions inside an enemy's body, even without seven shots, at least according to Halo Alpha. With that said, though, I still think the E-5 wins this comparison, even with the problem of overheating, thanks to its superior magazine size. Edge: Commando droid

Melee: Now I call BS on the 15-20 cm thing, the vibrosword is definitely longer than that, we can see that clearly in the picture. With that said, assuming similar length, the energy cutlass is a much handier weapon as it's an energy blade, which makes it lighter than a solid one, and can even double as a sharpnell grenade with the self destruct function. It's got the vibro-sword outclassed ormatched in all categories. Edge: Jackal

Shield: Opposite situation here. The BX shield has the defense gauntlet outclassed or matched in every way. It's bigger, more durable and you can phase your weapons through for a counterattack. As much as I though the jackals' shields were annoying when fighting them, it's nothing comnpared to the BX shield. Edge: Commando droid

X-Factor and Final Verdict: I'm going against my good friend Pygmy here and giving the win to the Jackals. The BX are extremely efficient killers, but the Kig Yar's weaponry is going to win them this fight. First of all, the Plasma Carbine is a far more versatile primary weapon than the completely sniper-oriented E-5s. It has nearly 4 times the magazine capacity and can be used as an assault weapon when combined with the defense gauntlet. The Needler, while not as conventional as the E-5 blaster rifle, definitely has things going for it like accuracy and explosions. As a UNSC serviceman once put it: ''“It’s about as close to a fire-and-forget small arm as we're likely to ever see, and it ain’t ours. This is why we’re losing.”''. The BX energy shield is the only thing I see the jackals struggling a lot with, and that can be dealt with thanks to the explosive function of the energy cutlass. As for X-Factors, the BX-series droids are extremely good and efficent infiltrators and commandos, but infiltration won't be needed in an engagement like this one. Albeit the hit-and-run atctics of the Jackals won't help them much more, but the point I'm making is that the tactics of the BX won't help them all that much. So in the end, I think the superior choice of primary weapon of the Kig-Yar, their superior melee/explosive weapon and their relatively comparable assault weapon will overpower the advantage of a better shield and win them this battle of the deadly snipers.
