Tybaltcapulet's "THE BEST PART OF WAKING UP IS COMMUNISM" Edges:

Melee: Now the Dadao is a nice,long, and fat blade, I'll give it that. But terms of being suited for the tactics being used here, the Bolo is the better choice. It has a reasonably long blade itself without drawing too much attention to itself. It also is great for taking out some of the rough terrain to the Filipinos' advantage. Edge: Filipino Commonwealth Guerrillas 

Pistol:The Shanxi is frankly a piss poor pistol.It was prone to jamming mean that 10 round magazine means almost nothing due to the lack of a quality feeding system. And the only way to fix this problem was to fire it sideways, which killed its accuracy and range. The M1911 is the much more consistent and reliable weapon that almost never goes through any of the problems of the Shanxi. Edge:Filipino Commonwealth Guerrillas 

Rifles: A bolt-action rifle vs a semi-auto one with three times the ammo? I don't think I really have to explain this, but I will. The M1 Carbine has by far the better fire rate, along with a vastly superior capacity of 15 rounds to the Chiang Kai-Shek's 5. This isn't even a contest.Edge:Filipino Commonwealth Guerrillas 

SMG's This is where the Chinese Absolutely shine. I've always considered the PPSH-41 to be the best SMG in the entirety of WW2, and it could still compete with others later in history. This is because it has everything that a SMG should have. A high as fuck fire rate to put out as much firepower as possible? The PPSH has that with a monstrous 900-1000 RPM. It also can hold a 35 or 71 round drum mag which easily dwarfs any of the other SMGs I've seen in WW2.The Thompson isn't a terrible weapon, but in terms of being an SMG, it's totally outclassed. It's capacity is downright puny compared to the PPSH(the 50 round drum was prone to jamming and probably would be tossed for the other magazines), it has a slower fire rate, slowing down cover fire. The PPSH is unmatched in its field, and the Thompson doesn't change that. Chinese Communist Guerrillas 

LMGs: Ooh this one's a tough one. The superior range of the BAR really means nothing here because the terrain will cut down most of the sight lines. So being able to fire 5000m at maximum or 1500 effective really doesn't matter. So with that in mind, I have to give the edge to the ZB. This is mostly due to the fact that it can use a 30-round magazine, giving it 10 rounds on the BAR. This is more rounds that can be fired at the enemy before reloading. Both are reliable weapons and function quite well, so this is really the only major edge out there Edge:Chinese Communist Guerrillas
