I'm going to say Nantz on this one. He lead his squad well in the savage fighting that the aliens introduced which is primarily weaponary of high explosive standard which gives much more violent damage than bullets (shaprel, dust), experience in coming and overcoming foes whom wield such devastating weaponary and are notabley skilled in it is an essential factor. Aside from that Nantz packs more than 10 years experience in the Marines which involves work in Iraq and Afghanistan where he likely faced shooters, more significantly he also has the M249 SAW which will be much more effective in combat since when deployed on a bipod, is precise, rapid and damaging to both the enemy and cover. Overall Nantz's battle experience and his special weapon will win this.
