User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Project At Eden's Gate (Far Cry 5) vs Followers of Yermak (DiplexHeated's Wasteland)/@comment-26865010-20180425175535

Clash of the Calamitous Cults!

Pistol: The good ol' classic 1911 takes the edge here for it's superior stopping power and reliability. The Makarov is a decently decent gun but when going up against the legend that is the 1911, it has no chance of taking this edge.

Edge: Project at Eden's Gate

Shotgun: The Americans are using a Russian shotgun, while the Russians are using an American one. How peculiar. Anyway, it's a curbstomp fight in favor of the AA-12, since it has greater ammo capacity, faster reloading speed and has the option to go full-auto, for when you really need to ruin someone's day.

Edge: Followers of Yermak

Assault Rifle: Oh boy, it's these two at it again: The AR-15/M-16 versus the AK. Right now I cannot come up with anything to write that makes this part of the vote longer, so I'll just go ahead and give the edge to the AK for it's greater reliability and the slight edge in range.

Edge: Followers of Yermak

Machine Gun: These bad boys first saw combat at 'Nam, and they are here to duke it out again. First off, I'm going to point out that the gun pictured is an Mk43 Mod 0/1, which is basically the M60E4 but with Picatinny rails attached. Also, the in-game M60E4 machine guns do not have their integral forward grip, so it's just a regular M60 but with a shortened barrel (although it does have upgraded internals and a redesigned gas system). But back to the vote: I will give the edge to the PKM for it's greater reliability. When you have to lay down suppressing fire, it is good to have a gun that does not jam up on you.

Edge: Followers of Yermak

RPG: Well... They are basically the same gun, what can I say? The Airtronic's RPG-7 is more or less a palette swap of the original, but deep down it's still the same thing.

Edge: Tie

Technical Armament: These guns have the same range and a similarily sized round. But the reason the M2 gets the edge is because of its larger ammo capacity: The DShK has only a 50 round capacity while the M2 has either a capacity of 105 (if it is using an M2 ammo can) or 100 (if equipped with an M2A1 can). It is most likely equipped with the more modern M2A1 can, so it has double the capacity than the DShK.

Edge: Project at Eden's Gate

Winner: Followers of Yermak

It is going to be a tough fight. With the better pistol and mounted machine gun, along with superior logistics and training, the Peggies are going to put a big dent on their enemy's forces. However, the thanks to having more weapon edges and experience and tactics, the Followers of Yermak will claim victory.
