119's "Against the Empire" Edges

Melee: The dadao has a longer blade, however, the bolo is handier in the close quarters of the densely wooden area the fight takes place in. Edge: Filipino Guerillas

Pistols: The Shanxi has a larger capacity, but the two five-round stripper clips means a slower reload than the detachable magazine of the Colt. The Colt M1911 was also far more reliable than the Shanxi, which had issues with jamming. Edge: Filipino Guerillas

Rifles: The Chiang Kai-shek rifle has a longer range than the M1 Carbine, but the carbine has a much larger magazine and higher rate of fire, more useful in a fight in a forest. In many ways, it is like a proto-assault rifle, with its smaller round optimized for mid-range combat and high rate of fire. For this reason, the Filipino Guerillas take the edge again.
