Edges:

Pistol: Both pistols are pretty old designs, berrata(1960s). The walther should take the edge since 9 mil is more commonly found and has better ballistics then 32acp.

Pistol 2: Since this battle is taking place near the woods and town it's safe to assume that there's going to be mid-short range combat, El Diablo (revovler) takes the edge since its hard hitting and accurate.

Close range: Both guns are excellent at what they meant to do, while yes the shotgun doesn't have the fire rate and capacity the mp5k has (maybe a faster rate of fire isn't that good since this is post apocoplytic and saving ammo and stuff?) but both are very deadly in close quaters. Edge is even.

Mid: The mini-14 fires 5.56 while the AKM uses 7.62, the ruger can share ammo with the AR-15(not mags per se but AMMO) both guns are very reliable and pack equal punch( 5.56 is more accurate but 7.62 will rip body parts at close range, check ballistic charts for that) Edge equal.

Mid 2: The fal fires 7.62, which can penetrate cover and body armour much better then the 5.56 the ar15(m4) fires, (albeit 7.62 is TRANSONIC) both guns have thier merits, m4: lighter, more ammo in mags, can share AMMO with mini 14. FAL: heavier bullet, longer range, shares ammo with sniper. Edge: AR15 since its far more common in the states and chances some of the fireflies knew how to use the gun before the apoc is great.

Long range: to be blunt? Even, since both guns fire 7.62x51 and are bolt action, the steyr SSG might be lighter but its a even in my books.

Long range 2: The bow has some good parts, more stealth, can cause fear in enemies, and salvaglbe arrows. The edge still remains for the accuracy international since the reasons BG have and that's it's a great piece of British hardware :-)

X factors: don't discount training, even though these guys are militias it doesn't mean they haven't got any training, for all we know they could have gotten training from a variety of sources after the apoc. Still edge goes to fireflies since they got a battle command and roles while (from what I've seen on t.v) WB are pretty much a group of random people with guns.

TL;DR, fireflies pretty much have this in the bag and will win against the WB army, but WB will certainly give the fireflies a bloody nose with all their superior weapons.
