Cfp3157's "Trying to steal my format eh?" edges:

Melee: KA-BAR is longer, more versatile, and the user's physicality is superior to that of the Finnish. You have to remember that the Finnish are severally weakened as far as munitions, while the Americans are at the pinnachle of the modern industrial titan we have today. So, things like proteins and carbohydrates are going to preside in the Marine's body much more than that of the Finns.

EDGE: Marine Raiders

Pistol: Call me an idiot, but it's even in my opinion. While the M1911 packs a larger bullet, the TT-33 is lighter and has a single more round.

EDGE: Even

SMG: The PPSh is far lighter, packs a larger magazine, and what it loses in caliber it regains in rate of fire.

EDGE: Finnish Winter Guard

Rifle: Mosin-Nagant may be lighter, but the M1 has an easier way of reloading, a bigger magazine, and is packing the larger round.

EDGE: Marine Raiders

Machine Gun: The M1919 is far lighter and maunverable, and with an even magazine size and rate of fire, caliber cannot make a difference.

EDGE: Marine Raiders

Explosives: Grenades pack much more firepower. The fancy flames that a Molotov has are Hollywood special effects, not battefield ready explosives.

EDGE: Marine Raiders

WINNER: TIE

This is actually one of the toughest matches I've seen in awhile. While the Marine Raiders will do some serious damage at a distance, the Finnish claim close range dominance. The Marines may be better trained, but a majority of their training is for aquatic operations, which this is not. I simply cannot pick a winner.
