WraithOfWaffle's "I'M ON A BOAT!" Edges

Sidearm: The M1911 is a classic piece of pistol hardware that delivers a fairly strong round without giving too much recoil to hinder accuracy. The .45 may be smaller compared to the .50 AE but it's enough to leave a pretty big wound and on top of that the 1911 fires faster and is lighter. As much as the Deagle is a badass looking, flashy handcannon it doesn't bring enough in a combat situation.

Edge: Vaas' Pirates

SMG: The MP5K destroys the Agram 2000 because of its superior capacity and design. They have the same RPM but the MP5K's larger build allows for smoother aim and greater ability for the shooter to resist recoil. The Agram is simply outclassed by the little brother in the MP5 family.

Edge: Brazilian Militia

Assault Rifle: Both groups will be carrying AK-47s without much difference between the two unless one group has some sort of attachment. On top of that they probably get them from similar distributors (Vaas' wealth allowing him to acquire from various arms dealers and the Militia presumably being supplied by Alejandro Rojas considering they had a working relationship wih him) so no gun has any real advantage over the other.

Edge: Even

Shotgun: I'll have to give this to the Baikal MP-113 due to it's more modern design, greater capacity, and possibly greater reliabilty over the Model 1887. The Model would work in the West West in a Showdown (COD 4 reference) but doesn't work in a modern setting.

Edge: Vaas' Pirates

LMG: The PKM and RPD are fairly similar but when it gets down to it the PKM is more reliable and has a greater RPM. It's basically built off the designs of the RPD and RPK.

Edge: Vaas' Pirates

Launcher 1: They're carrying the same weapon with no real advantage.

Edge: Even

Launcher 2: This is an easy edge for the GM-94 since it's firing the same grenade as the M79 but is carrying an extra in the chamber.

Edge: Vaas' Pirates

Overall: I have one question: why is the Militia X-Factor for experience so low? Didn't they fight TF141 and actually serve as a pretty big threat to them? Anyway I hate to say it but the Pirates win. They carry the superior weaponry on top of the home field advantage and steady stream of logistics from Vaas' wealthy.

Winner: Vaas' Pirates
