Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] Edges: This is Going to be a Pretty Damn Long Vote...

Weapons: Segregated by Range and Type

I) Close Range (Pistol)- In terms of firepower, the Heckler packs a punch with the hefty .45, sure, but the Barreta outclasses it in every other aspect. Yes, a .45 is obviously going to do more damage in this case, however damage/power is not the only factor you must look at when comparing guns. The difference in bullet size isn't monstrously terrible, either,  and after a bit of research the Beretta also weighs (on average; when loaded) no noticeably less than a Heckler.  Muzzle velocity is also a big player here, with the Beretta destroying the Heckler in that statistic.  Also, on average, the Beretta has 8 more bullets in it's clip, which means the Resistance'll have to reload almost twice as often. So, I'll give a slight edge to the Massachusetts Militia. [Winner- 2nd Massachusetts Militia Regiment]

II) Mid Range (Shotgun)- Christ, almost everything about these two weapons are identical, however I'm calling this on capacity/weight. On average, the Remington has seven total shots (counting the +1, if not with the plus one then it's a tie), having an o-so slightly higher edge in that capacity, with the downside of of being heavier on average. All in all, I think that with the  varying  weight and ammo capacities, the shotguns aren't going to be a deciding and/or an important factor in this battle. [Winner- Tie]

III) Mid Range (SMG)- What more is there to say? Obviously, the MP5A3 is the more modernized and combat efficient model, only losing to it's competitor when it comes to it's weight, and dominating in the likes of muzzle velocity and range. Easy win for the Militia. [Winner- 2nd Massachusetts Militia Regiment]

IV) Long Range (Assault Rifle)- Both Rifles boast identical rounds and capacities, however there are several key differences between the two weapons. For example, the Heckler has a higher rate of fire, much lower weight, and a hefty muzzle velocity. The Norinco, on the other hand, has an average range advantage of 100 meters, and being that this is a comparison of long ranged weapons, that can be a pretty large advantage. It's a tough choice, but I think the range difference is too high to be ignored. [Winner- 2nd Massachusetts Militia Regiment]

V) Long Range (Other Assault Rifle)- Another close call, as both competitors tie when it comes to capacity and ammo type, again. The Colt M4A1 Carbine decimates The G36C in terms of Muzzle velocity and RoF, but has a 250 meter disadvantage in terms of range. The G36C also takes in major points in weight. Again, I'm going to call this one based off of a clear range and weight advantage, so a slight edge goes to the Resistance. [Winner- The Resistance]

VI) Special- While the Augmented M16A2 weighs almost two times more than its competitor, and while I say that plasma fire is a bit more deadly than augmented bullets, the difference in range is pretty substantial (Taking in a 200m difference in effective range). Again, I'm siding with the superior range, as the difference is more substantial in this category than the ammo type. Combine that with the edge in rate of fire, I'll give this edge to the Militia. [Winner- 2nd Massachusetts Militia Regiment]

VII) Explosive- While It isn't explicitly stated how much more ammo the RPG has available, the fact that it can fire multiple times where the AT4 cannot is a pretty big edge. And even though the AT4 has almost double the capabilities that the RPG has, this one little fact severely cripples it's ability to be an effective weapon. So, unless the Resistance happen to have 10 times the amount of rocket launchers or something along those lines, I'll have to side with the Militia once again. [Winner- 2nd Massachusetts Militia Regiment]

VIII) Vehicle Support- After binging a good load of Fallout 4 I can relate to how having your large, powerful gun on the side of a helicopter can cripple your accuracy. Like So-Pro, I'm going to have to also call this a draw, as the HMMWV being mounted on a car allows it to get right into the nitty gritty of combat, while the UH-1Y Venom is going to struggle to get it's superior firepower to aim and hit targets from the ground. [Winner- Tie]

X-Factors: With an 87.2 average for the resistance, and an 86.8 average for the Militia, the Resistance win on a .4 difference technicality. So, even though they are marked as being the winner of the X-Factor category, it is an incredibly slight edge. They major in Logistics. [Winner- The Resistance]

OVERALL WINNER - THE 2ND MASSACHUSETTS MILITIA REGIMENT: With a combination of superior firepower and leadership, as well as matching their competitors in experience and training, the Militia takes a hard-fought victory over the Resistance.
