Kazanshin's "Breaking News: Irish Man assaults Japanese teenagers "It was to decide who was Deadliest!" " edges:

Rifles: On paper, the Colt Diemaco SA-20 is the better gun: it has a superior muzzle velocity and rate of fire while not lacking too much in range. However, this comes down to the bullpup vs orthodox rifle shape, and that's an advantage that goes to the F2000. It's far more maneuverable and lightweight, being made specifically to replace earlier styles of rifles. Edge: Buck

Shotguns: No contest. The DP-12 is superior in every way. Edge: Buck

Pistols: Between the Beretta and the SIG, I would give my slight edge to the Beretta thanks to its extra round, which I believe is a tad bit more of an advantage than the slight advantage in stopping power of the SIG. However, I don't think the Beretta has the power to punch through the riot armor, effectively making it useless. So one has a gun that does something and the other doesn't. Edge: Buck

Knives: The Ka-Bar is a knife made for combat, and Buck was actually trained in knife fighting as a soldier. Easy edge. Edge: Buck

Swords: Finally an edge to Masaru. The Nodachi hits harder and has superior reach. The family sword of the O Raghaillaigh is definitely a wonder, but we're comparing a one-and-half handed sword to a greatsword: the greatsword will have the edge. Plus, Masaru actually has training in kenjutsu, while I don't see any swordfighting training on Buck's side. Edge: Masaru

Special: A sniper rifle, an armored suit, a shield and killer boxing gloves vs Masaru's highschool girlfriend. I'm actually giving the edge to Masaru here. While the armro is certainly a good advantage, Haruka being here means Masaru will actually have two guns pointed at Buck while Buck can only point one gun at Masaru at a time. Haruka's skill in sharpshooting will also help to a certain extent since it means while Buck is distracted, Yandere-chan has a chance to snipe him through the head. Edge: Masaru

X-Factors and Final Verdict: Man, I am extremely tempted to give the win to MAsaru, especially since, being the only voter, it would mean my character and his girlfriend will have defeated an ex-special operator. However, as much as my fantasies would be fed, I have to give the win to Buck O Raghaillaigh for very obvious reason. This is basically a fantastically trained, extremely well conditioned and borderline superhuman spec ops soldier vs two highscholars, one with absolutely no notable training other than her boyfriend telling her how to hold a gun. Buck has every important weapon edges and nails every single X factor. So while I love my characters to Heaven and Hell and back, my head tells me to give the win to one tough Irish motherblazer, and that's what I'm going to do. Deadliest Warrior: Buck O Raghaillaigh
