AHM WALKING HERE! This is an easy edge for the Browning. While the Double-Barrel has an immense amount of power to it, that's the only advantage it has. Not only is the Browning shooting from further away, but it also has a larger (and quicker to reload) magazine, and is much lighter. Ultimately, both weapons are bringing in some distinct advantages that make it too close to call. The Tommy Gun's heavier, but it also has a significantly larger magazine. The MAC-10's lighter to carry around, but that small frame will make controlling recoil much harder compared to the Tommy Gun. Both have weaknesses, both have strengths. The Browning Automatic Rifle may be the first of its kind, but it's also the weakest. With a lackluster rate of fire and magazine size, it easily falls behind to the AR-15. The modern assault rifle brings in range, magazine size, and a rate of fire that all outclass the relic. The Nail Bomb is definitely going to be more destructive, but it's also the more unreliable and situational weapon. The grenade, while not the most destructive explosive, is very portable and can be used more reliably as well. The LP0 Flamethrower is a decent weapon, but it's very bulky and lacks range. Not only does the M1911 fire the damning .45 ACP round, but it does so further than the flamethrower. It's also a lot lighter, and isn't a hazard to the one using it. The IRA should take this battle with ease- while the Mafia probably has several mindset advantages such as loyalty and intelligence, they simply lack the arsenal here to win. The IRA's capable of attacking from a variety of ranges with their AR-15 and pistol, while wielding more urban-friendly weapons as well. The Mafia has become one of the most respected and feared criminal organizations in history...but the Irish Republican Army are just that- an army.
