BG1's "Hidden in the Shadows" Edges:

Handguns: The Deagle is very powerful but it has a horrid accuracy and a smaller magazine compared to the Beretta. The Beretta is also a lighter handgun.

EDGE: LoS

Shotguns: The double-barreled shotgun in this battle can be considered a bit 'primitive' since it can only fire two bullets, has a short range and a long reload time. Sure it is lighter but the M1014 is the more sophisticated of the two having more rounds, a better range, firepower... almost every aspect of what make a shotgun a good weapon

EDGE: SC

SMGs: While the Uzi has a slight advantage in magazine capacity and range, the Vector takes this for its compactness and perhaps its stopping power mixed with higher rate of fire.E

EDGE: SC

Rifles: The ACR fires a lot more rounds with a greater stopping power. The G36C is lighter and has an advantage with range... I'm gonna call this even since those aforementioned factors + high accuracy rate of both weapons make for equal weapons

EDGE: Even

Explosives: The M67 grenade takes this easily since it has a higher blast radius and more explosive capacity pound per pound.

EDGE: SC

X-Factors: Average of 77.5 for Shadow Company; Average of 82.5 for League of Shadows

EDGE: LoS

Overall Winner: Despite taking out most of the X-Factors, I don't see LoS making it out of this alive - maybe with a sword and/or some fists they might win in a melee contest but since melee isn't one of the weapon categories I'm gonna let that one pass. So what it all comes down to is experience and training - while the LoS have been around for a long time, when it comes to modern warfare, the LoS may not be prepared for what to expect - especially when it comes to facing a Spec-Ops team who spent almost a long time trying to cover Shepherd's tracks and eliminating the very well trained 141. Therefore, I'm giving this battle to the Shadow Company.
