Pygmy Hippo's "The Sniper King's Battle for his Life" Edges

Primary:The M39 Finnish Mosin-Nagant has more range and a faster muzzle velocity but the Karabiner 98K has the deadlier round which is actually 7.92×57mm Mauser. They're both bolt-action and have the same amount of rounds but the M39's muzzle velocity edge can match the Karabiner's bigger bullet and range is a huge advantage in a sniper duel. Edge:Simo

Secondary:The M1A2 Thompson has the deadlier round and more range but the Suomi KP-31 has more ammo, a faster rate of fire, and a faster muzzle velocity. The M1A2 can hit somewhat harder from a longer distance but SMGs benefit more from a superior rate of fire which the Suomi has and the ammo advantage it has is massive. Edge:Simo

X-Factors:In Training, Karl Fairburne takes the edge for his special agent training being superior to infantry training. In Experience, it's even as both have faced most of the same obstacles and while Simo is more used to the current environment, Karl has fought for longer in more varied ones. In Accuracy, Karl Fairburne takes the edge as he can accurately hit the weak points of a moving tank which Simo has never done anything similar to. In Camouflage, Simo Hayha takes the edge as his camo is suited for the environment unlike Karl's green uniform and I doubt he'll find any bushes. In Fighting Styles, Simo Hayha takes the edge as Karl is reliant on urban environments and traps or catching an opponent off guard which he won't as Simo is better camouflaged for this battle and doesn't use a scope as it would reveal his position. Edge:Even

Final Verdict:It should be clear that the White Death is the sniper making it out of this fight alive. Simo Hayha has the better rifle and SMG along with his Camouflage making him nearly invisible in the fight's environment and being more used to it. Karl Fairburne only has somewhat better Training and some great Accuracy that won't help him if he can't even see his target in the first place. Overall, that's six total comfirmed kills on DF for Simo.

Winner:Simo Hayha
