119's "Crime Doesn't Pay" Edges:


 * Handguns: The Desert Eagle has stopping power going for it, but that's about it. The weapon's recoil makes it impractical in combat, greatly increasing the time it takes to get off a second shot, and the shallow magazine, with only seven rounds, only makes things worse. Edge: Joker Gang


 * SMGs: The MAC-10 fires the larger .45 ACP round at a higher rate of fire, however, the higher rate of fire will increase recoil and reduce accuracy. The Mini Uzi also has a slightly larger magazine and a higher muzzle velocity. In the end, however, the two weapons are similar enough to be called Even.


 * Shotguns: The Remington 870 is a pump-action weapon, which can be cycled faster than the lever-action Winchester. Accuracy will also suffer from the sawed-off stock and possibly barrel as well. Edge: Joker Gang


 * Rifles: The FN FAL takes this easily, even in it's semi-automatic only version (possibly a British L1A1) with its much larger 20-round magazine. The M1 might have a slightly longer range, but in the hands of psychopaths and criminals who are probably not trained snipers, this will not matter as much, especially in the close quarters of the Favela. Add to that the fact that the FN FAL replaced rifles like the M1 in many countries' arsenal for its faster rate of fire (even in semi-auto) thanks to its larger magazine. Edge: Brazilian Militia


 * Explosives: At first glance, the RPG seems to take this, however, one must take note of the battlefield. The RPG is larger, meaning it will be harder to maneuver in the close quarters of the favela, and to make things worse, the backblast could kill the user if they fire it indoors. The M79 has none of these issues, making it the more effective weapon for this environment. Edge: Brazilian Militia
