Tybaltcapulet's "  Fake Commies vs Christian whack jobs, two of my berserk buttons" Edges:

Pistols: Muzzle velocity really isn't important here and that's really all the Beretta has over the Glock 17. The Glock 17 has 2 more rounds in the chamber, which may not sound major, but in the heat of battle will decide who can keep up the fight longer.Edge: Theocratic Whack Jobs

M4 vs M4: I would usually give this an even rating, but honestly, I belive the KPA will be the more competent user of the weapon, with better training and experience. This is really where the user of the weapon matters.Edge: Fake Commie Bastards

LMGs: I'm giving this straight to the SAW. The M60 really has only one thing on the SAW, and that's range, which in my opinion, isn't a big enough of a difference to overcome the M249's superior rate of fire, and smaller frame, making it easier to move around. The SAW also has a wider variety of magazines, so it can fit many roles.Edge: Fake Commie Bastards

Launchers: I have no idea what Appel is talking about with the Panzerfaust having shit range. The effective range of both of these two are about 300m and the Panzerfaust can reach about 900m before it explodes. I really see the Panzerfaust as a bit of overkill, with many options to utilize multiple times  vs the AT 4 which is a one and done weapon, if it misses, then too bad you can't use it again.Edge: Fake Commie Bastards

Vehicles: Staight to the GAU-19. It's insane rate of fire and massive range will wreak utter havoc across the battlefield, tearing apart Gileadian soldiers like they're nothing. And it can also do heavy damage to enemy Humvees before they can even get within their own range. The Browning is by no means a bad weapon, it's just functionally outclassed by the sheer firepower of the GAU-19.Edge: Fake Commie Bastards

X-factors/Overall: Honestly this is a straight sweep for the KPA Occupation Force in my opinion.Firstly, ROG is outclassed in just about every single weapons category, except for pistols, which won't really matter as much as other weapons. But besides that and more importantly, the KPA are just simply more competent soldiers in general. They're better trained, are more experienced against competent armies, and their industry allows for the production of better quality munitions and weaponry in general, as they haven't cut off a large part of assisting production like the Gileadians have. And let's face it, both of these men will kill in a blink of an eye for their cause, so it really comes down to the better soldier and his equipment, and I believe the KPA Occupation Force nails both.

KPA Occupation Force: 3500

Republic of Gilead: 1500
