Englishman's "I wish this was an acual episode" edges

Rifles: Um......do i realy need to give an explanation? This comparison happened in the show. And guess what? Edge: IRA

Sidearms: The Berretta has the slight range advantage, higher muzzle velocity, and more ammo, i don't know about fire rate, cause i'm like 64.5% sure semi-auto and double-action are the same speed. Edge: IRA

Melee: I'm going for the Shillelagh. Yeah yeah, it's a club, but hear me out. The Cane Knife was designed to cut sugar cane, while it could slice through flesh, there was no way in hell it could get through bone, which is why the Khmer were trained to go for the neck and stomache. The Shillelagh, on the other hand was designed as a weapon, it can shatter a human skull, snap arm/leg bones in half, i've seen the thing shatter cinderblocks like nobody's buisness, and you can even use the shaft as a weapon with killing power to the knob, and you can even thrust the tip of the shaft and even that can peirce cinderblocks. I don't care if the Cane Knife has a blade, with the Shillelagh's shear killing power, versitility, and reach, the IRA will kill the Khmer before they even have the chance to use their improvised weapon. Edge: IRA

Explosive: I'm no explosives expert, but i'm pretty sure  a grenade is more usful than a mine in combat, but, given where this fight is taking place, the IRA can easil set traps and ambushes with the Nail Bomb. Edge: Even

Machine guns: The RPD is lighter and has a better fire rate, but the M60 has longer range and higher  muzzle velocity. But, the thing with the M60 is that is jams after about 40 shots are fired, while it's pretty easy to unjam, it'll still leave the user wide open. Edge: Khmer

H2H: I see this going either way in the skill department, but this is a bunch of kids/teenagers fighting grown men that're like twice their size, and the Irish are famous for being able to take one hell of a beating. Edge: IRA

 * interms of training, while they were trained in the same stuff, the IRA have proven that they can go toe-to-toe with a world super power like the British, while the Khmer were curb stomped by Vietnam. Edge: IRA
