User blog comment:Monkey Doctor 33/The Empires' Finest! Death Troopers vs Storm Troopers (Warhammer 40K)/@comment-3189283-20180423080423

Let's see shall we

Main Rifle

The Hellguns take the obvious edge in terms of sheer power and lethality and will easily punch through the Death Troopers armour. Problem is that it has a pretty bulky powerpack to haul around with them in order for it to even work which gives the Death Troopers a big target to aim for. Furthermore the E11-D has basically an unlimited amount of ammo (500 shots is a hell of a lot to burn through) so no worries about suddenly finding themselves without ammo. Still the Hellgun does have a more guaranteed chance of killing so it ties it up.

Edge: Even 

Heavy Weapon

The Hotshot Volleygun is a straight upgrade to the Hellgun with a lack of cool-down meaning it can spit out more rounds. However that is really all it has going for it, it still has all the problems of the Hellgun and with it sharing a powerpack with the other weapons, the fast rate at which it burns through ammo will leave the Storm Troopers in trouble if they aren't careful with their ammo management. The Death Troopers have no such worries with their DLT-19D which gives them a much greater control at range which keeps them well out of the way of the powerful weapons the Storm Troopers are rocking.

Edge: Death Troopers

Sidearm 

The Hellpistol (as is becoming a theme with the Storm Trooper weapons) blows the Death Trooper equivalent out of the water in terms of raw power but (as is also a obvious theme) shares a powerpack with the other Storm Trooper weapons making ammo conservation a massive issue, especially with it being fully automatic. The SE-14r lacks in power but more than makes up for this with a larger ammo pool and greater accuracy due to it being a semi-automatic and having a sight.

Edge: Death Troopers
