Laq's "Making Draco Proud" Edges

Auto-9 vs. Lawgiver MK II: The Auto-9 is a fine weapon, but the Lawgiver is so much better than this category is a no-brainer. It has twice the ammunition capacity and enough varieties of ammunition that make it so it might as well be ten weapons in one. Additionally, the targeting systems and ricochet bullets combined with Dredd's natural marksmanship ability put his skill with the Lawgiver on par with if not above that of Murphy's. Edge: Judge Dredd

Secondary Weapons: This is another simple edge. While the Arbitrator does come with a similar variety of ammunition that the Lawgiver has, none of those rounds can match the destructive potential and range of the Cobra or the gun-arm, and the flight-pack gives Murphy an edge in mobility that Dredd can't match. Edge: Robocop

Melee Weapons: I doubt that either warrior's melee weapons will have much of an impact on the fight. The terminal strip is quite short, the rambolts can't be used as weapons, and the boot knife won't have much of an effect on Murphy's cyborg body. The daystick is the best of these, but even with Dredd's strength behind it, I doubt it can hit hard enough to damage Murphy, considering the things he's walked away from. Dredd gets the edge, but it's very minimal. Edge: Judge Dredd

Armor: The Judge Uniform is solid armor, and it'll certainly protect Dredd from the Auto-9, but it stands a much worse chance against Murphy's heavier weaponry. Murphy's body, on the other hand, has tanked huge explosions and huge falls, and Dredd will need his most powerful ammo to even scratch it. Edge: Robocop

Physicality: Dredd is much quicker on foot than Robocop, barring any use of the flight-pack, while Robocop has superior displays of strength. Both warriors can take a lot of punishment, but what's different about Robocop's ability to endure is that it's his body that's taking the damage for him, rather than the man himself. The same can't be said for Dredd. Their reflexes and marksmanship abilities are about even, once all the targeting equipment is taken into account. Edge: Robocop

Conclusion: Dredd has it in him to win this. Combine his armor-piercing and explosive ammunition with his superhuman reflexes and marksmanship, and in the right scenario, he can certainly bring Murphy down. However, Robocop can do that same and will have an easier time doing it. His weaponry packs a much bigger punch from a greater range, and his flight-pack helps to keep the range advantage. Interestingly, despite his superior physicality, it's actually in Murphy's interest to maintain distance. Dredd can attack from afar with heat-seeking rounds, but this won't be as effective because he can't combine them with armor-piercing rounds. In the end, it's Murphy's superior firepower and mobility from range that give him the majority of the wins over Dredd. '''Winner: Robocop!
