User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Anime Sniper Battle Royale: Kouto Hirano (HOTD) VS Ann Matsura (BC:BA) VS Shino "Sinon" Asada (SAO II)/@comment-21025171-20150914225105

WraithOfWaffle's "N0 $C0P3$" Edges

Snipers: First one out is Sinon's PGM Hecate due to it's extreme weight and lack of ammo. It's extremely powerful but only has seven rounds and isn't meant for anti-personel combat. Next one out is Ann's WA2000. It has one less bullet than Sinon's rifle at only six rounds ("Six? Only Six?!" - AVGN from his Terminator Review) and has a rather awkward design. Ann's skill with this weapon may be impressive but it's outmatched by the winning rifle. Edge goes to Kouta's AR-10T due to it's large amount of ammo, decent weight, and powerful round. His sniper is the most well rounded in the bunch while still being a decent weapon.

3rd Place- Shino "Sinon" Asada

2nd Place- Ann Matsura

1st Place- Kouta Hirano

Secondary: First to go is Sinon's Glock 18. The Glock may fire an insane amount of bullets from a large mag but it could be said that the rate of fire is a little too much. Sinon wouldn't be able to conserve ammo unless she were to always keep her gun in a semi-auto state, which puts her at a disadvantage. Next one out is Ann's TMP, due to it's lack of a stock and ammo. The TMP has a fair rate of fire and is concealable but lacks any real versatility as a machine pistol. Edge goes to Kouta's MP5SFK due to it's versatility and attachments. The silencer and flashlight will prove really useful and despite the semi-auto only feature of the weapon it still can hold its own with Kouta's impressive marksmanship.

3rd Place: Shino "Sinon" Asada

2nd Place: Ann Matsura

1st Place: Kouta Hirano

Pistols: First to go is Sinon's Type 54 due to its pea-sized caliber and lack of ammo. It's essentially a poor-man's Tokarev with a small magazine and poor bullet size compared to the other weapons present. Next to go is Kouta's Luger due to it's heavy weight and weak caliber. Kouta's marksmanship may be impressive but the Luger is way too heavy even though it packs a scope and larger mag and may even slow Kouta down if he needs to flee. Ann's USP gets the edge for its powerful caliber and light weight. Sure it won't be pack the 32 rounds of Kouta's Luger but the compactness will certainly help especially on top of the fact that Ann doesn't need 32 rounds since .45 ACP rounds hurt like hell and 12 rounds is certainly enough.

3rd Place: Shino "Sinon" Asada

2nd Place: Kouta Hirano

1st Place: Ann Matsura

X-Factors: Kouta's average is 69.1666, Ann's average sits at 78.333, and Sinon's average sits at 65.

3rd Place: Shino "Sinon" Asada

2nd Place: Kouta Hirano

1st Place: Ann Matsura

Overall: Third place in this battle goes to Shino Asada due to her having the worst weapons and X-Factors in the entire match. Her weapons aren't bad but she's outclassed by her opponents who are packing superior weaponry in the long run. Second place goes to Kouta Hirano due to him having the best rifle and secondary but didn't have the X-Factors to push him to victory. He's certainly a crackshot but doesn't have the training or experience to win. First place goes to Ann Matsura due to her superior X-Factors, pistol, and skill with her rifle despite it being not as good as Kouta's AR-10T. She has more experience against human foes on the battle field, is more calm under fire, and is better trained. Ann wins, leaving Kouta and Sinon in the dust.
