119's "In Soviet Russia...." Edges

Riflemen: The Mosin-Nagant proved an effective weapon in the First and Second World Wars, however, in the end, the bolt-action design was replaced by the semi-automatic SVT and SKS rifles, as well as the select-fire AK. The Gallian rifle is more comparable with these more advanced design, and takes the edge, even if it does have a somewhat shorter range, however, the lightly trained, and poorly equipped conscripts are not exactly the type to engage in long-range sniper warfare. Edge: Gallia

Assault: The Gallian SMG has a longer range than the PPSH, however, range is not the most important factor with SMGs and the PPSH has a far larger magazine, giving it an advantage in close combat. Even the Gallian's superior grenade does not make up for the far superior primary weapon of the Red Soldier. Edge: USSR

Anti-Tank: The RPG has a shorter stated range, however, the anti-tank lance is far heavier and difficult to maneuver, not to mention the lance has got to suffer from low accuracy as it can only be fired from the hip. On the other hand, the lance has a larger warhead, which could prove effective against the heavy Bear tank. Edge: Even.
