119's Gang War Edges


 * Sidearm: The M1911 may not have the range of some more modern pistols, but it has greater stopping power than a 9mm, while still being controllable. While the Desert Eagle will blow through anything short of the highest level military-grade body armor (which neither side is likely to have) the weapon is simply too big to be an effective sidearm- its recoil is so heavy that it's almost impossible to fire one-handed and difficult to aim even with two hands. Edge Pirate's M1911


 * SMGs: Both weapons are small, short range SMGs designed for close combat and special operations, or as secondary weapon for officers, weapon crews, snipers, vehicle crews etc. However, in the end, I give the edge to the more modern, better made MP5K, which has a higher muzzle velocity, lighter weight, and, most importantly in a firefight, a larger magazine. Add that the fact that some Militia have red dot sights on their MP5Ks. Edge: Militia's MP5K


 * Assault Rifles: OK, here's where this gets interesting. Yes, they both use AKs, but actually, they use different models. While the Militia do use a true AK-47, Vaas' pirates actually use a newer AK-103, in spite of what the game calls it. The AK-103 has a longer range and faster rate of fire, however, it's not quite over yet. Vaas' pirates' AKs have no optics attached. On the other hand, some of the Brazilians have red dot sights or even ACOGs attacked to their AKs, and all of them have custom furniture such as adjustable stocks. While range will be less important in a close range fight in the jungle, the red dot sights will give the Brazilians greater accuracy than the pirates's iron sights. Given this fact, I give a slight edge to the Militia's Custom AK-47 for its superior optics.
