Elgb's "Here Comes the Reds" EDGES!!!

H2H: I have to give this one to the bayonet. It's attached to a rifle, giving it a farther reach than a machete. If things do get up close and personal, Tito can also detach it from the rifle adn sue it as an ordinary knife. EDGE: Tito

Pistol: Although the Ruby pistol has two more rounds in its mag and that hammerless design is neat, the M1911 fires the larger caliber and is basically more robust and reliable. EDGE: Castro

Rifle: This is the tough one for me. Both rifles descended from the classic Mauser rifle and their design and look are too similar for me. However, if you're going to take a look at the performance, theirs nothing really special about the Yugoslavan Mauser that you'll see in other Mauser rifles. But the Winchester 70 on the other hand, is a bastard mix of German and American design, and being a marksmanship rifle it is by far the most accurate between the two. EDGE: Castro

SMG: THe thompson fires the heavier but more penetrating .45 round, at the cost of slower rate of fire. The PPSH-41 packs a deadlier punch with its spitzer bullet, and unlike the Thompson, it can spit out mroe bullets in a matter of seconds. EDGE: Tito

MG: Yeah well, an RPD obviously wins. A general purpose machine gun like an MG 34 is too heavy and too cumbersome to use in a small squad battle such as this, especially that you have to fire using belts and change the barrel when it overheats. The RPD is a lighter firearms that you can easily lug around and put in place, and you don't have to worry about the size and overheating. EDGE: Castro

Grenade: Pipe bomb due to its higher explosive power. EDGE: Tito

Deadliest Warrior?

This is an easy win for Fidel Castro for me. He takes most edges in rifles and machine guns that this battle is basically murder. Although Tito has the edge in melee weapons and submachine guns, he still needs tog et close to use those, while also dodging and surviving (I doubt) the hellish barrages from Castro's rifle and machine gun. Both are great guerilla tacticians but Castro simply wins due to weapons.
