Close range - Sig vs M9. On paper these two are nearly identical. That said I've heard enough complaints about the Berettas reliability/durability to question its chops in those departments. Where as I have heard none of the same complaints levied against the sig. EDGE: Hopper.

Long range - As it's been mentioned its the same weapon. EDGE: Even.

Special - SAW vs Barret. The Barret is a lethal and devastating weapon, in its intended role. A small unit skirmish is not the role. The SAW is simply more practical in this kind of engagment, which is why its carried by your average modern fire team. While the Barret is not. EDGE: SAW.

WINNER: Nantz. This is the kind of mission Marines train for the kind of thing the Sailors on ships rely on the Marines to do. The are not only better equiped for this kind of engagment, but also better trained for it.
