Mid Range Edge: AUG A1 - the L85 series has been plaged by problems since they were adopted in the 80's, while the AUG A1 has became probably the most successful bullpup rifle ever made.

Long Range Edge: L96 AW (called L115A3 in British military) - this is a no contest, the L96 AW fires .338 Lapua Magnum (listed above as 7.62 NATO above for some reason) compared to the SSG 69 that fires the 7.62 NATO round.

Close Range Edge: Glock 17 - Glocks are highly durable, they can withstand extreme heat and can even be fired underwater, while the SIG P226 just is a plain old 9mm.

Special Weapon Edge: Kukri - bigger blade, optimzed killing power.

My Vote: Irish Army Rangers - they are packing better weapons in the categories that really count, like assault rifles (mid range), and pistols (close range).
