AT4 vs FN Minimi? Well it's your battle bub.

Sith-venator Wavingstrider's Early Morning Edges!


 * For Close Range the FN FIve-seven's 20 5.7x28mm round magazine with a range of up to 50 meters dominates the SIG Sauer P226's 20 9x19mm round magazine. EDGE: GROM


 * For Mid Range the MP7's 40 4.6x30mm round magazine with a range of 200 meters and a muzzle velocity of 735 m/s is hard to compare to the AUG Para's lack of info on wikipedia >.< but the AUG Para at least uses a 32 9x19mm round magazine, giving the MP7 the edge in both caliber and magazine size. EDGE: Irish Army Rangers


 * For Long Range the Stery AUG's 42 5.56x45mm round bullpup styled magazine with a range of 300 meters fights well against the Bushmaster/Remington ACR's 30 5.56x45mm round magazine with a range of 300 meters. So far the AUG is looking good let's check rate of fire and muzzle velocity, the Steyr AUG has a ROF of 680-750 RPM and a muzzle velocity of 970 m/s while the ACR has a ROF of 800-950 RPM and a muzzle velocity of 792-990 m/s. Putting all things into consideration I am giving the edge to the Steyr AUG due to the larger magazine and the slower fire rate, a larger # RPM is not nessesarily edge giving material. EDGE: Irish Army Rangers


 * For Snipers well technicly the HK417 is a battle rifle <.< but I'm not going to complain the CheyTac Intervention fires a 7 .408 Chey Tac round magazine with a range of 2,000 meters and more, but it is Bolt-action and weighs a whopping 14 Kg even without the scope. The HK417 fights back with a 50 7.62x51mm round drum magazine with a range of I can't seem to find the information but at least 500 meters, my guess 800 plus meters with a scope, but it is selective fire and weighs only 4.23 Kg. So what is more valueble to you? Distance and stopping power, or magazine size, lighter weight, and a higher rate of fire? Considering this is a squad on squad battle I am giving my edge to the HK417, being 10 Kg lighter than the Intervention and having a massive ROF and Magazine size compared to it the good old Battle Rifle wins again. EDGE: Irish Army Rangers


 * For Special like I said earlier it's kind of odd to pair a rocket launcher up to a machine gun, but the AT4 can only fire it's 84mm rocket once, then it is useless, but the FN Minimi has a 100 5.56x45mm round magazine. So the FN Minimi will rack up the kills much more than the good old AT4. EDGE: Irish Army Rangers

OVERALL WINNER: Irish Army Rangers-Funny at my first glance I thought that GROM was going to win but after voting I saw the Irish Army Rangers getting lots of Edges lol. Regardless though GROM has some very good weapons, the FN Five-seven, ACR, and Intervention will be a pain in the Rangers @$$, but they can handle it. Using the MP7, Steyr AUG, HK417, and the FN Minimi they have the right combination of fire rate, magazine size, weight of weaponary, and stopping power to take GROM down. 2,800-2,200
