User blog comment:Thundrtri/Season 2 episode 5: MacRay Gang VS Joker Gang/@comment-5495321-20121223221307

I guess I can add in my own input:

Leaders

Melee: Joker: The Joker, like veryone else is saying, gets the edge in melee mainly because of the vast variety of weapons he carries. Her has two thrusting weapons, a blunt weapon and a slashing weapon. Variety makes for better effectiveness.

EDGE: Joker Gang

Pistols: Joker: The SW 29 has a higher caliber than the SW 64. The Glock has more rounds and is fully atuomatic.

EDGE: Joker Gang

SMG: Joker: The Mac has a larger caliber and rate of fire. Despite lacking in magazine capacity, it will gain the edge over the Tec.

EDGE: Joker Gang

Rifles: MacRay: The DSW Carbine has it all: Magazine capacity, range, rate of fire and caliber. Both the AKMSU and M1 Garand won't be able to keep up with it.

EDGE: MacRay Gang

Special: Even: An odd one here, the Remington has mobility. But the duffel bag of grenades has damage.

EDGE: Even

Overall leader edge: The Joker should grab the boss edge here. He may be insane, but he has the experience and weapons to overcome Doug MacRay.

Gangs

Melee: Joker: Again, we see the Joker Gang's diverse set of melee weaponry overcoming the MacRay gang.

EDGE: Joker Gang

Close range: Even: The SW overcomes the P series in caliber, but loses out in ROF and mag capacity. The Berettas and Glocks are virtually the same weapon.

EDGE: Even

Mid range: MacRay: The Mini Uzi overcomes the Mac in rate of fire, but loses in caliber. The Tec 9 being a backup, will give enough support to overcome the Mac.

EDGE: MacRay Gang

Long range: MacRay: The HK416 grabs reliability, range, ROF and magazine capacity. It is a far more advanced and better weapon than both the Garand and M16.

EDGE: MacRay Gang

Explosive: Joker: The M67 grenades are more portable and have shrapnel. They can be pout into the combat situation rather than having to be set up before hand like the C4.

EDGE: Joker Gang

Vehicle: Even: The minivan has speed and function on its side. The police will less likely notice the minivan as well. The doors are also easier to open. But the bus has durability and capacity on its side, always nice things to have on your side in a car chase.

EDGE: Even

Overall: 

This fight is very close. The MacRay have techonology and speed on their side with the HK416 and minivan. But the Joker Gang dominate in close range. Plus they have the superior boss which should be able to help them in the long run. The M1 Garand and M16A2 are both pretty decent weapons for rangecd combat and should be able to support them for a while. But once the fight gets closer, the Mac, SW Model 29 and all their melee weapons will begin to dominate which will eventually gain them the win.

OVERALL: JOKER GANG
