=Combatants=

The Order
The Order are a doomsday cult based in Silent Hill, Maine that are one of the primary antagonists of the Silent Hill series, particularly Silent Hill Homecoming. The Order worship the mysterious phenomena and entities that exist around Silent Hill, specifically, the Order believes that the world was a land of chaos and disorder before their primary deity, a goddess often depicted as a woman in red, arrived on Earth in answer to the prayers of one of the residents of the miserable primeval earth, and in response, created the world as we know it today. However, the goddess died before she could create a paradise, however, the Order believe their goddess will return one day, and have been known to make human sacrifices in order to hasten the day of her arrival, and have viewed several particularly powerful monsters that appear in the Silent Hill games to be the embodiment of their "God". Because they carry firearms, there will be only five Order members, vs 25 Onigafuchi villagers.

Weapons
The Order members in this match will wield the following weapons. There will be only one Order member with a rifle and one with a pistol, and they will all have only one magazine. One Order member will carry a concrete saw, All Order members will have either a meat cleaver or a metal pipe.

M14/M1A Rifle
The M14 is a 7.62mm battle rifle used by the US Military from 1959-1970. An M14 rifle appears in Silent Hill: Homecoming in the hands of Order members, and as a weapon used by game protagonist Alex Shepherd. However, the M14 used by Shepherd is semi-automatic only, and fires from a five-round magazine instead of the 20-round magazine of the military M14. This suggests that it is actually an M1A, civilian version of the rifle.

Beretta Model 92
While not seen in the hands of Order members, Alex Shepherd finds a Beretta Model 92 in the underground headquarters of the Order, so, for the purposes of this match, they will use it. The Beretta Model 92, US military designation M9 is a 9mm semi-automatic handgun. The Model 92 is available in a variety of magazine sizes, but, for the purposes of this match, the Beretta have the ten-round magazine, the smallest available and the one featured in most Silent Hill games (I think, well SH3 and I think 2, anyway)

Concrete Saw
Curtis, one of the members of the Order responsible for the torture and murder of the victims of the Order is seen using a circular concrete saw to commit a murder in Silent Hill: Homecoming. When Alex Shepherd, the main character in the game, interrupts him, he attacks Alex with the saw as well.

Metal Pipe
Numerous members of the Order are seen in Silent Hill: Homecoming armed with metal pipes, using them as crude melee weapons.

Meat Cleaver
While never seen used in combat by Order members, blood-stained meat cleavers can be seen hanging on racks in the Order's underground lair, where they were presumably used for torture and murder.

Onigafuchi Villagers
The Village of Onigafuchi, known in the modern era as Hinamizawa is a fictional village in Japan featured in the anime Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. While Higurashi is take place in 1983, the past of Hinamizawa is a major plot point. Hinamizawa is home to a mysterious local disease that causes violent behavior in those infected with it, once the infection reaches a certain level. During the feudal era of Japan, Hinamizawa, then known as Onigafuchi, or "The Demon's Abyss", was home to a group of villagers who believed they were descended from demons. This was due to stories about a mass Hinamizawa Syndrome outbreak that resulted in widespread bloodshed. Not knowing about the infection, the villagers believed that those villagers with demonic blood had reverted the their evil nature, and massacred the fully human inhabitants of the village. In order to stop this from happening again, they made human sacrifices to the god of the their local Shinto shrine, Oyashiro. On the night of an event called the Watanagashi Festival in June, the villagers would take a sacrificial victim, torture them, before finally having a priest or shrine maiden cut open their intestines with a sword, scythe, or sharpened hoe-like tool. The victim would be left to bleed to death as they villagers all took a piece of their intestines and floated it in the river, symbolically washing away the sins of the village. In addition to this violent ritual, the Hinamizawans also tortured and murdered those who violated the "laws" of Oyashiro, including outsiders entering the town, villagers attempting to leave the town, and those who enter forbidden areas in the shrine to Oyashiro. In this match, there will be 25 Onigafuchi villagers vs 5 Order members as the Onigafuchi villagers have only melee weapons.

Katana
The katana is the classic "samurai sword", with an extremely sharp curved single-edged blade forged from layers of hard, medium and soft steel to provide the optimum combination of strength and flexibility.

Nata
A nata is a Japanese tool similar in function to a machete or hatchet, but more similar in appearance to meat cleaver. An average nata is about 12-18 inches long.

Kama Scythe
A kama is a small, handheld scythe used in pre-modern Japan primarily as a tool for harvesting rice. The kama, however, was adapted into a melee weapons, used by the Ninja, among others.

Ono Axe
The Japanese Ono axe is an axe with a broad head, used both as a tool, and as a weapon, both by Samurai, and by Buddhist warrior monks.

Hammer
For the purposes of this match, the Onigafuchi Villagers will use a hammer with a roughly foot-long handle and a metal head. =X-Factors=

Explainations

 * The Order easily takes weapons, as they have at least a couple firearms, though definitely not having access to anything heavier than what is available on the civilian market in the US. Remember though, for fairness sake, only one Order member will have a rifle and another a pistol, and they both will have only one magazine.
 * The Order also takes armor, as, while they have no real body armor, they wear heavy clothing such as hazmat suits, mining equipment, helmets, gas mask etc, which offer some degree of protection, at least from melee attacks.
 * The Order has a slight edge in combat experience, as they have a dedicated group of combat personnel, though they appear to have little to no combat training. The Onigafuchi villagers are essentially just a crazed mob. The range in values represents variance in between individual members
 * The Order and the Onigafuchi villagers are tied in the area of fanaticism. Both are extremely devoted to their respective cults, and are more than willing the kill in their name.
 * The Order and the Onigafuchi villagers are about even on brutality. Both are known to possess secret torture chambers, and to commit horrific acts of torture and murder.
 * Again, the Order actually has a dedicated combat branch, even if they do not necessarily have much training. Any training they do have is definitely far below military or police standards.
 * Finally, remember that, in order to keep this fair, there will be twenty-five Onigafuchi Villagers armed only with melee weapons against five Order members, two of whom have firearms.
