Lets see shall we

Long Range

While the Gewehr's larger magazine is important because of the questionable logistical capabilities of both groups that's really all it has going for it. While I'd say the Gewehr has the advantage over the Karabiner because of it's much smaller magazine size outweighing it's much further effective range but the Garand only has a couple of bullets less and with a further effective range, larger magazine and higher muzzle velocity it is the superior rifle of the three.

Edge: Aldo Raine

Mid Range

The Thompson is certainly packs a big punch with it's large calibre and fast rate of fire but this also means it has fairly high recoil and with 12 less rounds than the other two it becomes a bit of a problem. Between the MP40 and the Sten I have to give the edge to the MP40 because while it lacks the rate of fire that the Sten has it compensates with a further range (although that's not going to make a huge difference) but more importantly a front grip which makes it easier to aim and control.

Edge: Aldo Raine

Close Range

I can't see much use for a melee weapons in a firefight so I'll discount them and just focus on the two pistols. Not that it's much of a comparison, the two are virtually identical apart from the Luger's slightly higher muzzle velocity but it's not really enough to get a decisive edge.

Edge: Even

Special Weapon

Let's see. On one hand we have an explosive against a large group of people and on the other hand we have a very convoluted and combat useless stealth weapon. Gee I wonder which one will win.

Edge: Otto Skorzeny
