119's "Fear the Reaper" Edges


 * Melee: In the past, shovels have proven to be deadly improvised weapons, for instance, in the trenches of the First World War where E-tools were used in close combat, often sharpened to allow use as like an axe. But in the end, the length of the shovel, as well as its weight, while giving it reach and striking force, also mean a skilled knife fighter can evade a strike and close the distance before the man with the shovel can make a second attack. Edge: SAMCRO


 * Leaders Sidearm: The Beretta has a larger capacity and muzzle velocity than the Browning. This gives it an edge in firefights. The Browning is a good gun, but it was ultimately retired in most militaries in favor of the Beretta and similar weapons. Edge: SAMCRO


 * Pistols 2: The Glock series of handguns are favored by military and police forces around the world. The Ruger has been less successful, and there is a reason for that. The Glock has a larger-capacity magazine, and, while it is a decent semi-auto, lacks the trademark Glock reliability and durability. Edge: SAMCRO


 * Pistols 3:The Kimber is essentially a Colt M1911. This means that while it is reliable and durable, it only has an eight-round magazine. The more powerful .45 caliber round might make some people favor it over a 9mm handgun, but when your going against another .45 with a larger capacity like the USP, that argument kind of falls flat. The USP is essentially a gun with all the stopping power and reliability of the 1911, with a magazine comparable with that of a high-capacity 9mm. Edge: SAMCRO


 * Shotguns: The two weapons are very similar, with weight being the only real difference. This means a slight edge to Welker's lighter Mossberg, but only a slight edge. Edge: Jack's Gang


 * Automatics: Normally, in shotgun versus SMG, the SMG wins, but the AA-12 is no ordinary shotgun. It is a high-tech fully automatic shotgun that spits out 12 gauge shells at 300 RPM, and has twice the range of the TEC-9. Essentially, what your doing is pitting a high-end weapon intended for a military market against a cheap large-capacity pistol modified to fire full auto. Its pretty obvious which is going to win. Edge: Jack's Gang


 * Assault Rifles: Both sides are using M4A1 carbines, so as far as performance, they should be about even, assuming both guns are in good condition. However, many members of SAMCRO are Vietnam veterans, used to working with the similar M16, as well as having at least basic military marksmanship training. Jack's Gang, not so much. Edge: SAMCRO


 * X-Factors: For this battle, the deciding factors are probably going to be firepower, combat experience, marksmanship and training. The Sons take all three of these X-Factors. The Sons also take logistics and intelligence. Basically, they have an overwhelming advantage everywhere that matters. Edge: SAMCRO


 * Overall Winner: The Sons of Anarchy takes this battle for their superior weapons, as well as their former military training and experience, which will give them a major advantage against Jack's gang. Not to mention, the fight is taking place on familiar terrain for the Sons.
