Sith-venator Wavingstrider's Edges!


 * For Close Range the Beretta M9's 15 9x19mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 365 m/s (1,198 ft/s), and range of 50 meters it blasts away the Makarov's 12 9x18mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 315 m/s (1,033 ft/s), and a range of 50 meters. EDGE: U.S. National Guard


 * For Mid Range the TMP's 30 9x19mm round magazine, with a muzzle velocity of 400 m/s (1,312 ft/s), a rate of fire 850-900 RPM, and a range of 100 meters is beaten by the PPS's 35 7.62x25mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 500 m/s (1,640 ft/s), a rate of fire of 600-900 RPM, and a range of 200 meters. EDGE: Red Army


 * For Long Range the M16A4's 30 5.56x45mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 3,110 ft/s (948 m/s), a rate of fire of 700-950 RPM, and a range of 800 meters, is battled by it's soviet rival the AK-74, who fights with a 30 5.45x39mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s (2,953 ft/s), a rate of fire 650 RPM, and a range of 650 meters. With the M16A4's larger round, longer range, and higher muzzle velocity it packs the punch the AK-74 lacks. EDGE: U.S. National Guard


 * For Sniper Rifles the M24's 10 7.62x51mm round magazine, muzzle velocity of 2,580 ft/s (790 m/s), rate of fire of 20 RPM, and a range of 800 meters (1,500 meters if chambered in .338), clashes with the Dragunov's 10 7.62x54mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 830 m/s (2,723 ft/s), and a range of 800 meters. This is a tough choice as the M24 is probably more accurate due to it being bolt-action but the Dragunov has the higher rate of fire. But I am going to give it to the M24 because it has that option to have the larger round, making it more accurate and have more stopping power. EDGE: U.S. National Guard


 * For Explosives I'm just going to copy Deadliest Warrior here. EDGE: U.S. National Guard

OVERALL WINNER: U.S. National Guard-The Red Army came prepared, but not prepared enough. The weapons they are using are reliable but lack the same range and stopping power that the American Weapons are using, in addition the M9 and TMP can share ammunition, which is a huge X-factor in my book. 3,500-1,500
