Kazanshin's "It's kill or be killed" edges:

Close range: I was about to give the edge to the baseball bat for superior reach, but then I remembered this is in fact a baseball bat. You see, the bat can obviously kill in a single hit if it hits the right spot i.e. the head or the back. It also has the good old reach advantage, which is so important. However, this reach advantage will, in my opinion, play against Murder Inc. as it will tempt them to go for the first swing. And if you're a guy in regular clothing and not steel and carrying nothing but a light metal blade, you'll be quite likely to just move your head away from the bat. A bat isn't made to be a weapon, so ater you've wung it you're wide open to counterattacks. Sure, two handed clubs have been used throughout history, but not in the way you swing a baseball bat. As soon as the sicario moves away from the swing, it's all stabby stabby time. Edge: Sicario

Main gun: I was about to give this one straight to the Tommy for its bigger caliber and superior rate of fire. However, after snooping around a bit on my own, I found out another critical factor needed to be factored in: muzzle velocity. Surprise surprise, the S&W 76 has a muzzle velocity of 425 mps according to here:

425 mps. That's more than enough to compensate for the smaller caliber considering the Tommy's muzzle velocity is of 285 mps. Yeah, the Tommy has a bigger magazine, but the drum will make the already heavier Tommy gun even more disadvantaged in that area. All in all, the lighter and more powerful S&W 76 gets my edge. Edge: Sicario

Sub guns: This one is much easier. The Glock has more rounds, a bigger caliber and also the faster muzzle velocity, as the Colt 1903 apparently only has 900fps while the glock has 1230fps. Edge: Sicario

Big guns: Bahahahah! Really? The mossberg has four times the rounds, a longer range and just as much stopping power. This isn't even a contest. Edge: Sicario

Special: This one goes by my logic of "both an elephant and a tiger can kill you, but you'll outrun an elephant more easily than a tiger". Marlin round to the head, chest or heck? Boom, you're dead. The RPG, while devastating, will be slower, heavier and make the carrier a sitting duck. Edge: Murder Inc.

X-Factors: The Sicario take training, experience and ressources, while discipline is pretty much a wash. All in all, the Sicarios win here too. Edge: Sicario

Final verdict: Yeah, I'm with most people here and give the win to the Sicario. They have the better weapons and are better trained, there's really not much else to say. The Marlin is a handy weapon, but that's not enough to save the mafia. The heavier-hitting S&W will keep the italians pinned, the pump-action mossberg will destroy them at mid range, the just overall better glock will dominate at relative close range and in the case of a melee, the switchblade is faster and just as lethal. Winner: Sicario
