Sith-venator Wavingstrider's Edges!


 * For Melee, ahhhh knives! ummmmmm teh throwing ones! EDGE: Expendables


 * For Close Range both are very nice Colt M1911 pistols, but one dude has two. EDGE: Expendables


 * For Mid Range the first weapon out is the super shorty, it's nice to be all small but you have turned your pump-action 12 gauge into a double-barrel essentially, it's light weight and small size will be an X-factor though. Next thing gone is the Benelli M4, though it holds a nice 7 rounds and has a good 36.5 meters in range it is not magazine fed meaning the reload will be a bit of a hastle. Now it comes down to AA-12 vs Heckler & Koch MP5K, automatic shotgun vs ultrashort submachine gun! The AA-12 has a 20 round magazine compared to the Heckler & Koch MP5K's 30. The AA-12 has a muzzle velocity of 350 m/s (1,100 ft/s) and a rate of fire of 300 RPM compared to the Heckler & Koch MP5K's 375 m/s (1,230.3 ft/s) and 900 RPM. But there is one deciding factor that matters more than magazine size or fire rate, range. The normal Heckler & Koch MP5 has a nice 200 meters in range just like the AA-12 when it uses FRAG-12 rounds, but the Heckler & Koch MP5K has only 50 meters in range. So alas this is the weapon order, AA-12>Heckler & Koch MP5K>Benelli M4>Serbu Super Shorty, luckily for the Expendables the AA-12 is good enough to pick up the Super Shorty's slack. EDGE: Expendables


 * For Long Range the Ependables' FN F2000's 30 5.56x45mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s (2,953 ft/s), a rate of fire of 850 RPM, a weight of 3.39 kg (7.5 lb), a barrel length of 400 mm (16 in), and a range of 500 meters couples nicely with the Noveske Rifleworks Diplomat which all I can find about it that it fires 5.56x45mm, has a 7.5 inch barrel, and has at least a range of 100 yards. Red strikes back with M16A4's 30 5.56x45mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 3,110 ft/s (948 m/s), a rate of fire of 700-950 RPM, a weight of 7.18 lbs (3.26 kg), a barrel length of 20 in (508 mm), and a range of 550 meters which picks up the slack of the Steyr AUG's (Which I don't think was in the movie, so maybe your basing it off the comic?) 30 5.56x45mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 970 m/s (3,182 ft/s), a rate of fire of 680-750 RPM, a weight of 3.6 kg (7.9 lb), a barrel length of 508 mm (20.0 in), and a range of 300 meters. So Red has the more accurate weapons due to those longer barrel lengths. M16A4>FN F2000 Tactical>Steyr AUG>That other carbine. EDGE: Red


 * For Special Tear Gas is more useful in general that steel boots and the M79 Thumper while using buckshot is limited to around 40 meters. The mighty and legendary M2 Browning has a a range of 1,800 meters thanks to that .50 BMG/12.7x99mm round, with a fire rate of 450–635 RPM and a muzzle velocity of 2,910 ft/s (890 m/s) it blows away the single shot Thumper even if it is a stationary weapon. EDGE: Red


 * For Explosive M203>M67 EDGE: Red

OVERALL WINNER: Red-Red may be old, but they have the smarts and the experience to take the Ependables down. Red has the weapons that pack the power down range, you can't beat up an old man when he has you pinned down with a M203 grenade launcher or when his friend has a M2 Browning Machine Gun. 2,700-2,300
