User blog comment:Deathblade 100/Season 2 finale: North Korean Special Operations Force vs Spetsnaz GRU/@comment-3189283-20150908220846

Lets see shall we

Long Range

Both of these sniper rifles have exactly the same stats which is no surprise seeing as how the PSL is heavily based on the Dragunov.

Edge: Even 

Mid Range 

The AK-74 has over double the effective range of the AKM and it also has the faster ROF. The AKM has the more stopping power due to it's larger round but it doesn't make up for it's shortcomings in the other areas.

Edge: Spetsnaz 

Close Range 

Both of these are very simular in stats and at first glance it would seem like they are both even. However the Makarov replaced the Tokarev as it was more reliable and less clunky to handle and this could make the difference in the close confindes of a close quarters battle.

Hand-to-Hand

Hapkido and Taekwondo are the more flashy of the two styles here and showcase a lot of flair and skill in it's styling and usage in combat. Systema trades this flair for more practical based combat and it is also a lot more brutal in it's execution. Both are good hand-to-hand combat styles but Systema wins out because of it's track record as a far superior form of hand-to-hand combat and because the larger and heavier Russian soldiers are going to be able to do more damage and generally be more effective in melee combat.

Edge: Spetsnaz 

Explosives 

The RGD-5 is the better explosive in all ways. First of all it has about triple the blast radius of the PMD and an even further frag shrapnel range. Secondly it is much more mobile and therefore versatile than the PMD, which is restricted to the place where it is set up and relies on luck as much as anything to get a kill. Finally the PMD has the be set up, either before or during the battle, whereas all the Spetsnaz has to do is pull out the pin and throw.

Edge: Spetsnaz 

X Factors 

The NKSOF has an average of 70 whereas the Spetsnaz has an average of 67.5.

Edge: NKSOF
