THE DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS:


 * Melee-Even. The knives the Wolvies have are, essentially, the same and basically even, but they still bring in more blades than the Basterds do. Having one type of blade and a blunt, but deadly Baseball bat. The Bat could definitely break some bones and crack skulls in the fight, it has the range and force behind it to do so. I'm going even be even for me because of this.


 * Close-Basterds. The Colt Revolver fires slower, being single action, and with the Walther using an 8 round magazine as opposed to the Revolver's 6 round cylinder, the 938 could definitely reload faster, and lay off more shots, being semi-automatic. The Walther, however, is firing small 9mm rounds, as opposed to the Colt Single Action Army's much larger and powerful .45 Colt. This is close, but the Walther will be able to lay off more and faster shots.


 * Mid-Wolverines. The AK-47 takes this, with ease, really. It's a reliable and modern assault rifle going up against a somewhat outdated SMG. The AK fires 7.62×39mm rounds while the MP-40 goes with 9mm rounds. Both guns are fully-automatic, but the AK has a rate of fire of 600 rpm compared to the MP-40's 500 rpm, not a huge one, but a difference. The AK has a magazine of 30 rounds, the MP-40 has a 32 round magazine, so a slight edge to the MP-40. Lastly, the AK has a greater range of 350 metres to the MP-40's 70 metre range, huge advantage again. So with all the AK-47's advantages, calibre, range, and rate of fire, and a few slight edges to the MP-40 aside, the AK-47 takes this easily.


 * Long-Wolverines. Damn, Wolvies be stompin'. The M76 is fully automatic, the Garand is semi-automatic. The M76 fires 7.62x39mm rounds, the M1 fires 7.62x51mm, so a slight edge to the Garand here for calibre, but just barely. The Valmet has a 15 round magazine, the M1 Garand has an 8 round magazine, advantage to the M76. Pretty easy edge for the Wolverines here.


 * Explosive-Wolverines. The RGD-5 is a hand grenade, it can be thrown farther than the Dynamite could and has a quicker detonation time.


 * Special-Wolverines. The OSS Pistol Glove could be nifty in close range, and it's light weight, that's a plus, the RPG-7 fires an explosive however, and could be reloaded easier and surprisingly faster. Surprisingly close, I'll go RPG for deadly and combat effectiveness.

WINNER-WOLVERINES. Going in I was thinking Basterds because of their training, but the Wolverine's have MUCH MUCH MUCH better weapons.
