119's "What Were You Saying About Surrender Monkeys Now?" Edges


 * Shotguns: The Benelli has a superior rate of fire with its semi-auto action. Edge: GIGN


 * SMGs: The FN P90 fires a micro-rifle round with a higher muzzle velocity, as well as a built-in scope and a much larger magazine. Edge: GIGN


 * Assault Rifles: The FAMAS has a high rate of fire, which, while useful at close ranges, causes accuracy to suffer, and makes the scope difficult to use. The 416 doesn't have accuracy issues and has a silencer for stealth. For that reason, Slight Edge: SWAT


 * Sniper Rifles: The Barret is a .50 caliber sniper rifle with long range and high stopping power. The Barret can strike a target at a range of over a mile! Edge: GIGN


 * Special: The Riot Shield can block 9mm bullets (assuming we are dealing with a ballistic-rated shield, however the SiG is defintely more lethal. Edge: Even


 * Non-Lethal: The Flashbang is portable, unlike the shockwave. The flashbang also is not effected by body armor. Edge: GIGN.


 * Overall Winner: GIGN has superior weapons, and are probably better trained, being a national-level counter-terror unit rather than a being a team typically associated with a municipal or county police unit.
