 * Pistol: M1911's magazine holds more rounds. It is easier to reload than the webley revolver. So edge goes to the MacArthur
 * Rifles: The Lee-Enfield's magazine has more rounds and it can be reloaded even with rounds still left in its magazine. I hear Bolt Action Rifles are more powerful and accurate than Semi-Automatic Rifles. But the M1 Garand can be fired continuously without having to clock the bolt. I give them both the edge.
 * Submachine Gun: The Sten SMG has the faster rate of fire and more rounds in the magazine. The Grease Gun fires slower but bigger rounds and is more durable than the British submachine gun. I give them again both the edge.
 * Big Machine Gun: The BAR can be fired from the shoulder but only has ten rounds which is abysmmal when its not used for assaults. The Bren can only be fired on the hip and from a prone position. But it can lay down suppressing fire when stationary since it has ten more bullets in its magazines.
 * Explosives: The PIAT was decent during the El Alamein campaign. It can take out some panzers and other wheeled artillery. But like every other British weapons during World War II like the sticky bomb and the Sten, it is very dangerous to use and can blow up in your face. Just ask MAJOR ROBERT CAIN. The Bazooka, while louder and not as silent as the PIAT, is lighter to carry and can be fired safely. Edge goes to Macarthur.
 * X-Factors: Bernard Montgomery was an Allied general who commanded respect from not only the British but also the Americans and the French etc. This comes to no spurise since Bernard was one of the leaders of the Allies so his ability to use each nation's capabilities is outstanding. Douglas MacArthur was a great general too during the Pacific War but he didn't led an army as large and complex as Bernard Montgomery until the Korean War. So the edge goes to McArthur.
 * Winner: Douglas MacArthur may not be as great as Bernard Montgomery when it comes to tactics and strategy but his men are armed with the better weapons here. He is still a capable fighter and in such a small battle his better weapons would prevail. I feel like this is like El Alamein's own Bernard Montgomery vs George S. Patton fight which is also 5 vs 5, if you want to ask a better opinion, you should ask him.
