BG1's "Resistance is Futile" Edges:

Close Range: Beretta 92 not only has the higher muzzle velocity but it is also lighter and has potentially a bigger magazine size - advantages that I think trump over the larger calibre bullet of the H&K SOCOM

EDGE: 2nd Mass

Medium Range 1: Winchester may be the lighter shotgun but the Remington holds one more bullet in the magazine

EDGE: Even

Medium Range 2: The two are even here since the MP5A3 has the deadlier rounds owing to a higher muzzle velocity (arguably) and a better range but the UMP-9 is lighter and has the more controllable rate of fire

EDGE: Even

Long Range 1: HK416 is better made (rather than the AK-47 clone that is the Norinco Type 84S or better known as the Type 56) and has the higher muzzle velocity - sure the Type 56 variant may have the larger bullet and the same range as the HK416 but that's not enough of an edge

EDGE: Resistance

Long Range 2: Better muzzle velocity, controllable rate of fire, a useful aid in the form of an already attached reflex optical sight and a greater firing range - the G36C outclasses the M4A1 heavily

EDGE: Resistance

Special: So a gun modified to shoot plasma rounds vs a gun modified by alien technology to effectively shoot down more aliens... kinda hard to decide but I think I better give it to the plasma gun since its rounds are deadlier

EDGE: Resistance

Launcher: Will have to go for the AT4 since it is lighter, has a better range and a deadlier payload

EDGE: Resistance

Vehicle: Yeah I agree I will have to call this a tie - I definitely concur with your analysis on using door-mounted machine guns on helicopters being less effective at taking down targets due to its fixed and restrictive firing arc (thanks Battlefield for showing me that too) but on the plus side, since the Venom is a heli it can actually be more manoeuvrable than a Humvee in the setting you gave it - after all, controlling the skies allows you to take control of the ground; I will also agree on the analysis that most other people here gave in their voted about the Humvee possessing the more powerful machine gun since the DSHk is a HMG rather than an LMG like the M60D

EDGE: Even

X-Factors: Average of 87.2 for the Resistance; Average of 86.8 for the 2nd Mass

EDGE: The Resistance

Overall Winner: Hmm... tricky decision. On the one hand you have a militia that has braved through a war against a relentless force of robots led by a maniacal AI and on the other you have a militia that has braved through a destructive alien invasion led by a pissed-off alien queen; the one thing that tips the scales against the 2nd Mass is the fact that they were only able to get a decent winning advantage because they had reinforcements in the form of the Volm aliens while one man, John Connor, solely led the Resistance to victory (well... until Genisys if you think about it) and yes two brains may be better than one but if it took two to get the 2nd Mass off the ground but only one for the Resistance, I'd say that the Resistance have actually got the better leader; plus the Terminator robots are sure damn harder to kill than the Espheni. Better logistics and weaponry also tip the scales in favour of the Resistance so for me, the ultimate winner is Terminator's ''The Resistance'.
