User blog comment:WanderingSkull/The Road Less Traveled: Adrian Carton de Wiart vs. Hiroo Onoda/@comment-17814994-20141112110457

Elgb's "Suprisingly brave, but incredibly Stupid" EDGES:

Melee: I really love the Fairbairn knife. It's designed by two of the godfathers of modern hand-to-hand combat, and I would never doubt the design and damage that it can inflict. The gunto itself is nothing more than a mass-produced inferior copy of the legendary katana. But sadly swords beat knife most of the time in a fight. The gunto has the longer blade and a knife fighter would have problems getting past that. EDGE: Onoda

Sidearm: If there's one thing that can rival the nambu pistol from being the crappiest handgun of all time, it probably will be the type 26 (also made by the Japanese). Although both the webley and the type 26 were top-break which makes reloading faster, the type 26 has design flaws such as its over-rotating of cylinder that makes it unreliable. Not only that but the Japanese 9mm is pathetically weaker than the .455 webley. EDGE: Wiart

SMG: The sten gets the edge by a mile. Not only because it has a more dangerous bullet, it also have a two bullet advantage in its mag. Another thing that i should point out is that the Imperial army never really focused much on the weapon and so only a few Imperial soldiers may be adept in using this weapon. The type 100 only saw limited action during the war. EDGE: Wiart

Rifle: The arisaka is a great bolt-action rifle no doubt, but the Lee-Enflied trumps this sucker anytime. The Lee-Enflied, in my opinion, is the best bolt action rifle during WWII. It is fed by 2 five stripper clips, the most during the war. It's also one of the fastest bolt-action rifles in history and a rifleman can fire 15 bullets in a minute. It also has the bigger muzzle velocity offering a more damage to a poor sap. EDGE: Onoda

Explosives: I have to go with the Mills bomb on this one. The type 99 is a hassle to use due to the need of striking the head eveytime a pin is removed. The Mills bomb not only is faster but is easier to use and its shape allows it to be thrown farther and more accurately. EDGE: Wiart

Deadliest Warrior: Adrian Carton de Wiart

Seeing the weapon edges, Adrian has the better and more reliable weapons in his disposal. He also have the advantage of being more experienced than the young Onoda-san. Although Adrian's physicality such as his age and eye loss would get Onoda some kills, Wiart is smarter and more capable than Wiart, who has been through and lead more battles than Onoda. In the end Adrian Carton de Wiart would win this battle and drink some tea afterwards.
