Let's see shall we

Sidearm 

I'm actually going to switch it up and take a look  the two pistols as it makes more logical sense as a comparison than a Shotgun/Flamethrower vs Pistol. The M1911 has a more powerful round but it's lower muzzle velocity and magazine size make it inferior to the Browning.

Edge: IRA

Mid Range 

Pretty obvious edge for the Thompson. It has a more controllable rate of fire than the MAC-10, greater accuracy due to the front grip and a larger clip size to boot.

Edge: Mafia 

Long Range 

The Browning is much to heavy to be lumbering about with in a fire fight as is more effective being used as a stationary weapon to lay down fire from a distance. The AR-15's more compact and lightweight build make it better suited to close confines and it has the higher magazine size and rate of fire anyway. Either way you look at it the Browning loses out; either due to it being stationary and leaving the user vulnerable or it's heavy weight makes it more difficult to carry around, not to mention the recoil having a bigger effect.

Edge: IRA
