Let’s see shall we

Melee 

The switchblade wins because it’s more concealable. The Switchblade is all fine and dandy when you’re up close and personal but good luck getting past 3 feet of solid wood being swung at 100mph right at you.

Edge: Murder Inc. 

Main Weapon 

The Tommy Gun has a lot going for it in this comparison with a more powerful round, a larger magazine and a faster rate of fire. The S&W 76 does have a further effective range and is more accurate owing to a lower recoil but neither of these advantages are substantial enough to compete with the Tommy Gun’s advantages. As the battle is taking place in the streets a greater range won’t be much help and while yes being able to hit your target more often is a key edge it’s also wholly dependant on the user behind the weapon, not the weapon itself.

Edge: Murder Inc.

Sidearm 

Both have a similar effective range and semi-automatic firing mechanism, but the Glock’s more modern design means it can spit it’s rounds out quicker on top of having almost double the ammo capacity.

Edge: Sicario 

Shotgun

The Mossberg without a shadow of a doubt. The sawn-off is a very close range weapon and it’s stopping power is matched by that of the Mossberg which also has the advantage of eight slugs as opposed to two and an easier reload system if they do run out.

Edge: Sicario 

Special 

An RPG seems a tad overkill for a small scale turf war situation like this and while certainly devastating it’s also big and heavy to carry about, leaving the unfortunate Sicario lugging it around an easy and obvious target. The Marlin on the other hand adds another dimension to Murder Inc.’s attacking options due to it having the longest effective range in the line-up as well as just generally being another option in a firefight.

Edge: Murder Inc.

Final Verdict

I’m actually going to cast a dissenting opinion here and vote for Murder Inc. In terms of weaponry they have the superior SMG, the key weapon in this battle and while the Sicario do have a vastly superior sidearm and shotgun they’re not going to be as important to the overall firefight as the SMG will be. Furthermore, and as detailed in the special weapons analysis Murder Inc also has access to a long range firearm as well to give them that extra something (even if as mentioned before range isn’t exactly a huge deciding factor). And in all honesty the weapons really are the deciding factor as when it comes to the actual warriors themselves there isn’t really much in it. I guess maybe you could make the argument the Sicario are better trained but more so in an assassination scenario not a street brawl like this one. Both them and Murder Inc. are hitmen; hardened killers yes but not head on fighters. Therefore, it comes down to weapons and in that regards Murder Inc. has the superior arsenal so they win, simple as.

Murder Inc: 3,000 

Sicario: 2,000
