Pygmy Hippo's "Modern Assassins" Edges

Melee:The Switchblade is lighter and has the advantage of being a sharp weapon which makes killing easier than the blunt Baseball Bat but it's shorter as well. Edge:Sicario

Main:The M1921 Thompson SMG has a deadlier round, more ammo in its magazine, and a faster rate of fire but the Smith and Wesson 76 has more range. Edge:Murder

Sidearm:The Glock 19 has more rounds and is lighter but the Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless has the deadlier round. Edge:Sicario

Shotgun:The Lupara may not have to pump after every shot but the Mossberg Cruiser still outclasses it with the numer of rounds it has and its superior range. Edge:Sicario

Special:The RPG-7 has more raw power but the Marlin Model 1894 is more practical for a small skirmish with its larger magazine and lighter weight. Edge:Murder

X-Factors:In Training and Experience, I give the edge to the Sicario despite their age as they have taken on their government while Murder Inc. has only fought other criminals. In Resources,as you said the Sicario get the edge again for the Cartel's superior money reserves compared to the mob. In Discipline, Murder Inc. finally gets an edge as they were brought down by one member while the Sicario tend to give themselves away with their souvenir habits. Edge:Sicario

Final Verdict:It shouldn't come as any surprise that I believe the Sicario will win this fight. While Murder Inc. has the devastating Thompson/Marlin combo and the edge in Discipline, they just can't overcome the Sicario's superior training/experience and resources that will keep their weapons full of ammo throughout the fight. It also doesn't hurt that the Sicario have a better melee weapon as well as a more advanced sidearm and shotgun to emerge victorious against their older counterparts.

Winner:Sicario
