Sith-venator Wavingstrider's Poetic Edges!


 * For Melee, if you have a katana you win :D. EDGE: Dead Island Crew


 * For Pistols the Astra 960 is the first pistol out because it is a revolver, the second pistol out is the Glock 17 for it's lower muzzle velocity. It's down to the classic face off, the Beretta 92FS vs the SIG Sauer P226. Both are chambered in 9x19mm and have a range of 50 meters with a magazine size of 15-20 rounds. I'm going to make it a tie between these two legends, but the Glock 19 beats out the Astra 960. EDGE: Left 4 Dead Gang


 * For Shotguns, I have tried comparing the Remington 870 and Mossenberg 590 cruiser before, I always give it a tie. But let's see which Italion shotgun is the best, the Franchi SPAS-12 fires a 12 gauge shell in a 8+1 internal tube magazine, has a weight of 4.4 kg (8.75 lb), a length of 1,041 mm (41 in) while the stock is extended, a barrel length of 546 mm (22 in), a fire rate of 4 rounds a second, and a range dependent on the specific ammunition used. The Benelli M4 counters with a 12 gauge shell in a 7+1 internal tube magazine, has a weight of 3.82 kg (8.42 lb), a length of 885 mm (34.8 in), a barrel length of 470 mm (18.5 in), a fire rate of semi-automatic, and a range of 55 yards (50.2 m/164 ft). Overall I feel like the Franchi SPAS-12 is the better shotgun with it's longer barrel length and a larger clip. EDGE: Dead Island Crew


 * For Assault Rifles we have the AK-105 vs the FN SCAR-L and the AR-15 Carbine vs the M16A2. To begin the AK-105 fires the puny little 5.45x39mm from a 30 round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 840 m/s (2,800 ft/s), a weight of 3.0 kg (6.6 lb) without magazine, a length of 824 mm (32.4 in) with stock extended / 586 mm (23.1 in) with stock folded, a barrel length of 314 mm (12.4 in), a fire rate of 650 rounds/min, and a range of 500 m (550 yd). The FN SCAR-L counters with a 30 5.56x45mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 2,870 ft/s (870 m/s), a weight of 3.29 kg (7.3 lb), a barrel length of 368 mm (14.5 in), a fire rate of 625 rounds/min, and a range of 500 m (550 yd). Given these facts I am giving the edge to the FN SCAR-L due to the larger round, longer barrel, a larger muzzle velocity, and a slower fire rate. For AR-15 Carbine vs M16A2, it's a carbine vs a rifle. Rifle wins. EDGE: Left 4 Dead Gang


 * For Explosives C4 and grenades are a lot more useful than pipe bombs and molotav cocktails. EDGE: Dead Island Crew


 * For Special a modification doesn't really do much more compared to the M60 and the M79 Thumper! Easy edge for the L4D Gang. EDGE: Left 4 Dead Gang


 * For Extras, a carbine beats two submachine guns anyday. EDGE: Dead Island Crew

OVERALL WINNER: Left 4 Dead Gang-Though the Left 4 Dead Gang is a little unexperienced they are packing the better weapons for long range combat. With weapons like the FN SCAR-L and the mighty M60 they will dominate the zombie infested battlefield with relative ease. 2,800-2,200
