User blog comment:Cfp3157/Season 2 Episode 4: MACV-SOG vs Spetsnaz/@comment-5795750-20121227053500

BG1's "Hot Cold Warriors" edges:

Close: The SOG Recon Knife is very durable and lightweight while the Saperka has greater killing potential (much like the E-Tool of the Green Berets) and reach; if an enemy is being taken out head on (which is what is most likely going to be the case) then the Saperka is great not only for the offensive hit but defence too

EDGE: Spetsnaz

Short: I do agree that the S&W 39 has the bigger round but it has a lower muzzle velocity than the Makarov (read somewhere that the muzzle velocity with that bullet is 274m/s) and perhaps has a greater range

EDGE: Spetsnaz

Medium: The MAC-10 can put more rounds into a person and it is lighter than the PPSh-43 but the latter is more powerful

EDGE: Even

Long: If I were judge based on power it is gonna be the CAR-15 that gets the edge but perhaps for versatility, the AK-74 isn't that bad a weapon; but the CAR-15 is designed to be used in situations where long guns (which is what the AK-74 is) would be impractical so...

EDGE: MACV-SOG

Special: The RGD is an explosively lethal grenade but it rolls easily and it has a fuse time that would allow for escape from it; the C4, while it has to be remotely detonated, can be concealed easily and packs a bigger payload

EDGE: MACV-SOG

Overall Winner: This is gonna be close but I reckon that in that jungle setting and climate MACV-SOG are going to take this also because they have been trained to fight against enemies in places like you described (the spetsnaz I think work the best across snowy or woodland terrain)
