Freedom Fighters of the Homefront

Note - Now, while I might show a bias towards Chris Stone, as he's a fellow New Yorker, in a manner of speaking, I will be honest with my reasoning, and explain certain things, like why I might think he'd win.

Melee - A plumber's Wrench versus a Combat Knife - Yeah, if you've seen the Pancho Villa Versus Crazy Horse battle, you could see the reason why the Knife gets the edge here - a Wrench will only kill if it breaks a bone that pierces an important organ, meaning that the best target is the head/skull/brain. A knife though can slip between the rib cage, and stab the heart/lungs. At least the Wrench won't break in this fight. (lol) Of course, the Wrench has other uses, like helping to free prisoners, and opening manholes, but not much use for fighting, except for being a heavy chunk of steel that's a makeshift club. Edge - Jacobs

Handgun - Colt Python versus a Beretta M9 - I can see why people pick the Beretta here - at least twice the bullets, and quicker to reload. Hell, most of the time, players of Freedom Fighters will change from the Revolver (Python) for the Pistol (Beretta 92FS) for the same reason. Edge - Jacobs

Shotgun - Remington 870s are good guns, but the Franchi can switch to Semi-Auto, allowing for faster Follow-up shots in the heat of battle. Edge - Stone

Assault Rifle - People, we need to stop dissing the AK - it's a good gun, otherwise, the Russians, and others, wouldn't use it, in one form or another. The AK 103 is the latest in a long line of Kalashnikovs, and comes with a folding stock. The ammunition is also much more powerful than that of the M4A1. That being said, the M4A1 is a decent gun, and has less recoil than its Russian counterpart. Edge - Even

Submachinegun - This one is interesting. Chris's Bizon fires 9mm ammo, but each mag has 64 rounds. Robert's Vector fires .45inch cliber rounds, but there's only 30 in the mag. It's a toss-up between bigger bullets versus More bullets. The Vector is more powerful, but that being said, that extra 34 rounds means that the Bizon doesn't need to be reloaded as soon. Edge - Even

Sniper Rifle - Both guns use similar rounds, have the same capacity of 10, and similar range. As for training being a factor, Jacobs might have that with the SR-25, but Stone has the Killer Instinct with the SVD, when he used one to kill the man in charge of the Russian forces, the man who had killed his brother, and not just regular mooks who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Edge - Even

Heavy Machinegun - The PKM versus the SAW - The PKM fires a larger round than the SAW, but it's more prone to jamming than the SAW. Edge - Jacobs

Anti - Tank - 40mm by the RPG-7 versus 60mm by the Tank Terror's grandson. Tough call, but the Panzerfaust 3 does have the bigger payload. Edge - Jacobs

Grenade - I have to give this to the ROG, due to it's greater killing range. Now, the M67 has the smaller killing range, which might make things a little safer for ones allies if they close in with the enemy, but Chris isn't going to chuck it into a group of allies - he's going to toss it into group of enemies, who will keep most of the shrapnel from hitting his allies. Edge - Stone

Deadliest Warrior - Now, Robert Jacobs is one tough son of a gun, who does have a certain amount of military training that Chris Stone lacks, unless he learned some from the Russian Deserters on his side. But Chris is fighting trained soldiers, highly trained ones at that, and winning. Also, while Chris is making due with stolen weapons, he's stocking up on them, and ammunition. Jacobs was on the run for a long time, before he hooked up with anyone with any real supplies of weapons, and thus had to steal from his enemies, far more than receiving one from some allies. Also, Chris is the leader of his men, while Jacobs was recruited/rescued mainly because he was a helicopter pilot. Chris can lead his forces to victory, while Jacobs is merely in the right place at the right time, when he tips the scales in favor of victory, such as when he was on the underside of the Golden Gate Bridge, and was to one to take down some Sentry Towers/guns. Winner - Christopher Stone
