Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edgines-AMERICA!


 * Rifles- Churchill. While I don't know enough about firearms to really compare the .303 British rounds of the SMLE to the 7.5X54 French of the MAS-36, the British firearm has a clip double the size of the MAS, allowing plenty more shots, and thus plenty more opportunities to kill while minimizing the time left vulnerable to reload, which allows it to take this edge.


 * LMGs- de Gaulle. While the higher rate of fire and larger amount of ammuntion available to the Lewis Gun make it a formidable weapon, the speed with which the FM 24/29 can be transported and moved about the battlefield due to it's much lighter weight helps to give it a tactical edge, and from my readings, the FM sounds like it has a greater accuracy and greater range, which will allow the wielder to overwhelm Churchill.


 * Pistols- Even. While the Mauser has a greater clip size, the Modele 1935A is a lighter and smaller gun- and in a fight close enough range for the handguns to matter, the ease of use, quicker draw and more manoverability provided by the smaller, lighter firearm could be the difference between life and death.


 * Deadliest Warrior- I'm voting for Winston Churchill, in the end. I feel that, while Churchill may not be the greaters fighter on his own physical merits, his experience, leadership and morality boosting skills will be a key part of keeping his squad on top of things, while they bring in some impressive weaponry that gives them some pretty clear advantages. The only way I can see this ending is with Churchill ripping out de Gaulle's skull and drinking tea out of it as a ceremonial cup.
