Elgb's "Tyrant Bootlickers" EDGES!!!

Long: The RPD takes the edge easily. Both guns are almost the same but the RPD has the bigger magazine and faster rate of fire. And in machine guns those always matter. EDGE: VC

Mid: While the Scorpion has the advantage in range and rate of fire, the Mat-49 has the edge in caliber and magazine. It all boils down to which weapon is more efficient in killing. The 32 ACP that the scorpion has is largely underpowered and weak. It has a long history of failing miserably as a handgun caliber. The powerful tokarev round on the other hand blows it out of the water. Having the faster muzzle velocity and that straight bottleneck bullet that will go through a human person easily, then a puny .32 ACP doesn't have a chance. EDGE: VC

Short: In pistols magazine count is always important. And the Browning High Power has more bullets in its mag than a simple Tokarev. EDGE: IRG

Special: The punji sticks are virtually useless in this fight. Its only good in the jungles and wont do shit against anywhere else. It needs surprise and mounting idiocy to actually be lethal. The knife is a knife, and it does what a knife does. Its surely the more practical weapon. EDGE: IRG

Bombs: While the RGD-5 has that slightly bigger explosive pwoer packed inside, its got nothing against the versatility of a pomz. The poms can be used both as a mine and as a grenade. EDGE: VC

X-Factors: In terms of training and logistics, the IRG has this in the bag. The VC are only guerilla warriors who lack state of the art training and equipment. But the VC's guerilla tactics and experience washes the IRG off shore. They fought in more battles against a wider variety of opponents.

Deadliest Warrior?

While both played as poor henchmens of totalitarianism, I'm actually giving the edge to my man Charlie. The IRG are good and well-trained, but they seldonmly won any battles and are more used to attacking (or torturing) those weaker than them. The VCs fought against the world's superpowers and won. And while they were just a small factor in the fight for Vietnam, they nonethless bled and died just as any other proffessional unit in the Communist Army. Most of all, the IRG are not as well-versed in countering the VCs well-planned assymetrical warfare.
