Omnicube1's Cubeliest Edges

Melee: Ballistic knife gets my vote. It offers that dual option to stab and shoot the blade to kill. Edge: Russian Ground Forces

Martial Arts: Both are similar. Knock the guy down, take out your gun (which I feel is unfair but nothing is fair in war), and kill the guy. Edge: Even

Close Range: The MP-443 Grach gets my vote for it's capability to fire a pressurized round that can pierce armor. Edge: Russian Ground Forces

Mid Range: The Saiga-12 is the better shotgun capable of a greater effective range, magazine capacity, and lighter weight. Plus it has a greater rate of fire. Edge: Russian Ground Forces

Long Range: Overall, my edge goes to the AKM. It hits harder from a greater distance and has a much larger caliber. Edge: Russian Ground Forces

Long Range - snipers: The SR-25 is the better rifle considering it covers more of a distance. It weighs much less and its barrel and design limits the flash emitted from a gunshot. Edge: US Army Rangers

Special: If we're looking at this in an anti-personnel mode so to speak, the RPO-A Shmel is the better weapon considering the FGM-148 Javelin requires an actual lock-on to a vehicle to fire. Plus its a two-man weapon. If we're looking at this in an anti-vehicle view then the FGM-148 Javelin definitely takes it since in one missile, it will easily take out a tank. Edge: Even

Explosive: Both are directional explosive weapons so you can adjust them any which way to kill the opposing force. My edge goes to the claymore since it can easily be camouflaged compared to the MON-100 which will easily stick out since it looks like a dish. Edge: US Army Rangers

Support Vehicles: Looks like someone's been taking my idea ;D. Edge goes to the American M1 Abrams mainly due to its armor. The combined plating has allowed many M1 Abrams tanks and other tanks utilizing the RH and chobham combo leave battlefields relatively unscathed. In gun-power, the Abrams' 105mm is rifled as opposed to smoothbore making the rounds more accurate and able to travel farther. Edge: US Army Rangers

The Deadliest Warrior: US Army Rangers, well it's special forces against standard regulars, and 89% of the time special forces will win unless they're outnumbered. Even though the Rangers are utilizing weapons of smaller calibers, they can use them well by closing the distance. Plus they have the greater support, which will probably survive both the T-90 and the RPO-A Shmel. 580-420
