Affectos's Emotions: "Commies, Commies, Commies....they were Commies, right?"

Close: In cases like this, I try to see who would have the better training with the gun. Since Pol's men are literally teens, they don't have as much training with firearms as Mao's soldiers.  (minor) Edge: Mao

Mid: In addition to the lighter wieght, increased round capacity, and faster RPM, the PPS 43 has the clip up front, letting it double as a foregrip, adding to the stability in ADS. Edge: Pol

Long: The biggest issue here is the ammo count:weight ratio. If I'm hauling a heavier gun that fires a fraction of the rounds that my can, these bullets sure as hell better be powerful. Otherwise, if I can wield a lighter weapon with more rounds, I'll take it. Edge: Pol

Special: I'm no physics teacher, but I think the end-over-end throw of the stick grenade will give it a longer throw than the arc that the Type 59 will. Edge: Pol

As much as I want to root for the underdog here, Mao will pull a come from behind victory. His men have the better training, are a bit older on average, and are actual soldiers. Victor: Mao Zedong
