Let's see shall we

Sidearm

These weapons are almost identical in terms of stats with the same effective range, magazine size and 9mm round. However the Taurus has a higher muzzle velocity which means it will do more damage.

Edge: BOPE

Assault Rifle

Well seeing as how the M4 Carbine is the carbine version of the M16 the stats are again very similar. The main difference between the two is range; the M16 is better for further range due a longer barrel and higher muzzle velocity and the M4 is better in close quarters because of it's more compact shape and full auto fire option. Seeing as how the battle is taking place in a Favela the M4 is the better option because of the aforementioned compactness.

Edge: BOPE

Machine Gun

I'm going to side with the H&K21 on this one and the reason is primarily down to manoeuvrability. The M240 is considerably heavier than the H&K21 and is supposed to be plonked down in one spot and used for suppressive fire, not the best option in the Favelas which are very tightly packed without clear lines of sight. The H&K21 is by no means a light gun but it's much easier to carry around so will find much more use in this battle.

Edge: BOPE

Shotgun

The Mossberg is carrying the extra round, giving the SAF more staying power in a firefight. The dual-firing system of the Benelli is a nice feature but I don't think it will be as much of an advantage as having an extra round.

Edge: SAF

Sniper Rifle

The PSG-1 has the further effective range which is a key advantage when it comes to a sniper battle especially when the magazine size is the same. That being said I don't see snipers playing a big role in this match because of the location, the Favelas are not exactly prime sniping territory.

Edge: BOPE

Final Verdict 

If it wasn't already obvious I'm casting my vote for the BOPE. Apart from shotguns they sweep the weapons categories including the all important assault rifle category with all their weapons being much better suited for the close quarters fighting this battle is going to involve. On top of that the battle takes place in the Favelas which is right in the BOPE's backyard and as such they'll be well versed in fighting in them whereas the SAF will be in unfamiliar territory. While the SAF do have the more extensive combat experience they're poorly equipped for this type of battle and will lose as a result.

BOPE: 4,000

SAF: 1,000
