Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess (We were here before TDW)
 * Close Range- Mandalorians. The vibroknife is just as good as the Spartan's knife, but with the vibration effect, which allows the blade to go toe-to-toe with a lightsaber. I'd say a strong argument could be made to support the idea that the Vibroknife can cut through Spartan shielding to boot.
 * Pistol- Mandalorians. The WESTAR is a brutal handgun that can easily take on any Spartan, while the M6D has trouble dealing with most armored and defended targets. It helps the WESTAR has a much larger clip too.
 * Carbine- Spartans. The MA5K is a devestating weapon, espicially in the hand of the Spartan. In skilled hands it can take down some truly powerful targets. The EE3 is a damn good gun, but it's not quite up to snuff.
 * Rifle- Spartans. The Battle-Rifle is one of the UNSC's most devestating pieces of equipment, and it can easily bring down a Mandalorian, even in it's much superior armor.
 * Sniper- Mandalorians. The Verpine is a much more versatile weapon that can easily take down more targets faster than the mediocre Halo sniper.
 * Machine Guns- Spartans. Last I checked, the Spartans could pick up their turret and carry it around, making it much more capable. It also fires faster than the E-Web, despite it using inferior ammo.
 * Deadliest Warrior- Mandalorians. Between the better ammo, armor and better combination of training and experience will win the day for the Mandos- VODE AN, bitches.
