The PMC
Not much is known about the PMC, as they have no part in Modern Warfare 3's campaign and are a multiplayer only faction. What is known though is that they are a private military company (Private Military Company) and are stationed in Somalia and Thailand. In Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer, they fight the African Militia on the maps Bakaara, Mission, Carbon, and Village and fight the Spetsnaz on Bootleg. They are also seem to be under the command of the leader of Team Two from the mission "Return to Sender" in Somalia during the campaign as the PMC operates in Somalia.



Merryweather Security
Merryweather Security is a paramilitary operating all over in the world including the Middle East and San Andreas, the setting for Grand Theft Auto V. Throughout their time operating in San Andreas, local drug dealer and arms dealer Trevor Phillips ​causes them trouble including stealing a cargo plane of supplies and when he abducted ne of their trains and crashed it, destroying the cargo. These events cause them to lose millions of dollars and support from other parties including the US government. By the end of GTA V, they lose their governmental contract and are forced to shut down any operations they have in the United States and making them lose millions of dollars.

X Factors
Explanations
 * Both groups seem to have the same training. Private contractors don't give the best training but it's good to mention that Merryweather was inspired by Academi aka Blackwater, the PMC famous for it's alleged human rights violations during the Iraq War.
 * Merryweather takes brutality since they are willing to kill anyone that will uncover any of their secrets or to protect Devin Weston.
 * Both warriors have ingaged in combat but the PMC have fought the Spetsnaz, a special forces group which gives them the edge. Even though Merryweather has fought a lot of people including terrorists but haven't fought anything like the Spetsnaz.
 * The PMC are at least successful in their operations. They can defeat the African Militia and Spetsnaz is MW3's multiplayer but Merryweather's number 1 problem Trevor Phillips has made their time in San Andreas a living nightmare. Merryweather's failure is why they had to get off of US soil.
 * The PMC don't seem to have a proper plan (like any MW3 multiplayer faction), they just run around and kill people while Merryweather seems to have a proper plan in their attempts to kill the GTA V protagonists, even though they fail.

We​apon Edges
Edge: Even Edge: Merryweather Security Edge: Merryweather Security Edge: Even Edge: Merryweather Security Edge: The PMC
 * Melee: The nightstick can reach longer and can break bones but the Blackhawk Tatang can stab people and the puncture wounds can be pretty deadly. It's even for me.
 * Short Range: I'm going to be very honest here, I hate the Desert Eagle. It's an impractical hand cannon that has very high recoil and is heavy for a pistol. While it fires a very strong round, I'm giving the edge to the P2000 since it fires a pretty decent round, has a larger capacity, and less recoil than the Deagle.
 * Mid Range: The UMP .45 fires the .45 ACP round which is stronger than the MP5A3's 9x19 Parabellum round but it's range and rate of fire is what prevents it from getting the edge. The MP5A3's 200m range and 800 RPM is what gets it the edge.
 * Long Range: Both of these rifles are similar when you compare them. Both shoot the 5.56x45mm NATO round and have 30 rounds in a clip. I'm going to make this even, since the G36C has a longer range but the HK416 has a higher rate of fire.
 * Explosive: The M26 grenade can be thrown, doesn't require the user to set it in a location, and is a lot more portable than the semtex. The semtex can be a very good tactical tool since it can be used to sabatoge a pathway and could definitley surprise Merryweather. In the end, the edge goes to Merryweather's M26 grenade.
 * Special: The Advanced Taser M26 can incapacite someone and shock them, similar to SWAT's taser shockwave as seen on Deadliest Warrior. Meanwhile, the M84 Stun Grenade can incapacitate multiple people and doesn't require the user to aim and fire, they can just throw it into a location.
