Let's see shall we

Sniper

Both of these weapons would appear to be quite simular in terms of stats with the only difference being in stopping power and rate of fire and it that respect I'd have to give the edge to the Springfield. When it comes to sniper rifles the most important factors are stopping power and accuracy and the Springfield takes the edge in both of these. A faster rate of fire is fine but it's not necessary as the point of a sniper is to be patient and wait for his chance to get a shot off, not consistant and prolonged fire.

Edge: Bill Taylor

Long Range

The Garand is an iconic and well made semi automatic rifle and it wins out here as well. It may have less rounds than the SVT-40 but it spits them out quicker and with more shot power which will wreck Koslov in a firefight. While it is true that it's reloading mechanism isn't quite as fluid as that of the SVT-40 I don't feel it will make enough of a difference to tie up the edge.

Edge: Bill Taylor

Mid Range

No contest really. The PPSh-41 wins out in pretty much every catagory including range, rate of fire and accuracy.

Edge: Vasili Koslov

Close Range

I've not heard many good things about the Tokarev. It may have the more powerful round but that's about all it has going for it. The M1911 is still widely used to this day and is much more reliable and easier to fire than the Tokarev due to the better shape of it's trigger.

Edge: Bill Taylor

Explosive

Gotta side with the Mk II Greande here. The RGD-33 is way more complex than a handheld explosive really needs to be and will leave Koslov fumbling about whereas Taylor can just pull out the pin, throw it and get the hell out of there without the unnecessary hassle.

Edge: Bill Taylor
