El Alamein's Edges:

 Pistols: Beretta vs. Glock:  The Glock has a larger magazine and a larger caliber round (I think, anyway). As standard semi-auto handguns, they both have an effective range of 50 m (pretty standard), so the larger magazine, coupled with the superior round, should give the edge to the Glock.

Edge: Liberty City Police Department

 Shotguns: Mossberg vs. Ithaca:  The Mossberg doesn't need one in the chamber to store 8 rounds, meaning that that eighth shot won't be live - unlike with the Ithaca, which could cause accidents. The stock on the Mossberg will make firing more accurate from the shoulder - a benefit the Ithaca lacks.

Edge: Chicago Police Department

 Submachine Guns: MP5 vs. MP-10:  It seems since both guns are basically carbon-copy clones of one another, it'll come down to the warriors wielding the weapons to see which one has the edge. The Chicago PD is in better physical health and has much better marksmanship, two factors which I see making a huge impact in a protracted firefight. They won't fatigue as quickly while maintaining accuracy, giving them the edge. Also, apparently the MP5 has a stock that the MP-10 lacks.

Edge: Chicago Police Department

 Assault Rifles: H&K 416 vs. M4A1:  They both have 30-round box magazines that fire the accurate 5.56 NATO round, but the H&K 416 has a faster rate of fire (for superior suppressive capabilities) and a marginally longer effective range (assuming the M4A1's range of 500-600 m is an average, setting their range at 550 m).

Edge: Chicago Police Department

 Sniper Rifles: SR-25 vs. PSG-1:  They're both semi-auto snipers with 10-round box mags that fire the 7.62 round, with 800 m effective range. Yeah, the PSG-1 does have a marginally higher muzzle velocity, but c'mon they're sniper rifles - if they hit you, you're dead regardless. This is where the superior health and accuracy of the Chicago PD comes into play again, giving them an operational edge.

Edge: Chicago Police Department

WINNER: CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT

When it comes to weapons it's mostly a wash. Even though the Chicago PD has a majority of the edges, most of them are really, really close. Where the differences shines through, though, is with the superior health and marskmanship of the Chicago PD. They won't tire out as quickly while maintaining superior accuracy, which in my mind is a winning combo for a warrior in an urban firefight. With greater intelligence implying superior tactical skills and better teamwork, there's just no way the outmatched LCPD can outmuscle their foes from Chicago.
