Close combat:

Combat knife vs M4X Combat Knife. While the M4X can pack on hell of a punch in close range, its wide and thick blade cripples in ability to thrust. While the combat knife doesn't do as much damage, it makes up for it by having more options in combat. So in the end it goes down to what is better, damage or options. I personally am split, so I give it up to a tie. Edge: Tie.

CQC vs Ka-bar. While the Ka-bar is a damn good knife, being fast and agile in the hand, it has a severe disadvantage here. CQC was a fighting style designed to neutralize enemies carrying weapons like Ka-bars and other types of knives in close combat. Since CQC was literally made to neutralize the effects and usage of the Ka-bar, I give the edge to the CQC. Edge: Big boss.

Mid Ranged combat:

Silenced M1911A1 vs M1911A1 Handgun. This is easy. Big boss and Frank both carry the same gun, but Big boss carries a better version with more functions. So I can only give Big boss the edge. Edge: Big boss.

Mk 22 Mod 0 Hush Puppy vs Beretta M9 Handgun. Easy to call as well. The hush puppy is a good tool to stun or knock out an enemy, but it can't very easily kill. The Beretta is a killing weapon. And since this is a fight to the death, the Berretta comes out on top. Edge: Punisher.

Longer ranged combat:

Ak-47 vs M4-A1. This is a tough debate. The AK-47 is a more reliable and tough gun, while the M4-A1 is more accurate and has a longer range. When going head to head, I am personally split between the 2. Both have advantages in a battle which are helpful to their side. Edge: Tie.

Stoner 63 Machine gun vs M60 Machine Gun. While The Stoner is a good weapon and has more options for this fight, it lacks the fire power to contend with the M60. While M60 is more clumsy and clunky, it makes up for it by maving much more pure fire power. Edge: Punisher.

Explosive:

RPG-7 vs m203 Grenade launcher. This is quite easy to call. The RPG has a longer range, has a larger blast radius, and can do much more damage in the end. While I do see that it is quite clumsy when compared to the launcher, it can attack at a greater range and pick off enemies at a much greater range. Edge: Big Boss.

X factors:

While both have their own advantages, I favor big boss in the end. While his lack of depth perception does mess up his ability to shoot castle a little bit less effective, his ability to think on his feet more effectively and is more sound mental state pushes him only the slightests bit over Franks brutality and Marksmanship boons. And when considering the fact that Big boss is a battle melee combatant, I feel that he steals the X-factors in the end.

Conclusion:

While both of these warriors are insanely skilled and brutal warriors, I personally favor Big boss. His equipment is generally better, and while punisher can let out much more damage in a tradtional fight, Big boss can move through the underbrush and remain out of Franks sight fairly easily. And while Franks is a tough bastard, he lacks the skills to simply power through Big boss. While on the other hand Big boss can disect Frank at range or in melee with deadly sneak attacks. But this win isn't clear. If Big boss decides to go head to head with Frank, he is gonna get shot to pieces within seconds. But as it stands, I feel big boss has what it takes to win the majority of the times the 2 fight.

Winner: Big boss.
