Sergei's "Keeping it real, real dead." Edges and vote.

Weaponry Edges:::: TWD vs. PND.

Sniper rifles: I'm going to give this to the Perfectionists. A .50 sniper easily outweights the remington due to it simply having the full stopping power of a HMG round. A single bullet from this thing can easily tear an arm or leg off (actual combat footage) And a round to the head will literally make the victim's head explode.

EDGE: PND.

Assault Rifles: I'd have to give this to the Walking dead survivors. The M4a1 is an updated version of the M16a2 rifle. It's designed to fire in a 3-round burst, making it more accurate. In addition to this it's lighter size and weight allow easier movement in woodland, urban, and wasteland environments, not to mention agility.

EDGE: TWD.

Shotguns: This is a really close call. The Mossberg and the Remington are very similar. They both use 12 guage, and they both carry 8 rounds. Being so similar I researched both of them and saw that as far as size, weight, etc. they are also similar. Therefore, I think this is ever so perfectly tied.

EDGE: Tied.

Pistols: Both pistols are very powerful, and both of them are very difficult for use by any average person. But real life problems aside, let's compare the guns. Both of them are very powerful, high velocity rounds that can pierce some kevlar vests. The .50 round is in thought more powerful than the .357, but the version used by the Dessert Eagle is actually about the same power. The only difference is that the .50 round is bigger, and therefore will cause more bodily damage. The only other difference is the Dessert Eagle is easier to reload and carries more rounds per reload.

EDGE: PND.

Explosives Lethal: This one is also a close call. The car bomb is essentially an IED, whereas the M67 is a fragmentation grenade. One os a placed trap while the other is a thrown explosive weapon. Which would be better simply depends on the situation used, since the actual weapons can destroy each other.

EDGEL Tied.

Explosives Non-Lethal: The flashbang provides both a blinding flash and a pop of high sound, while the concussion only does the latter. The result is as far as stun grenades go, the flashbang is the more common, and more effective model.

EDGE: TWD.

Special Weapon: The crossbow can deliver silent and deadly bolts downrange at high speed. On the other hand the elephant gun allows a very high caliber round. I'm going to have to go with the Elephant gun since it's easier to reload, is higher caliber, has longer range, and will be able to penetrate cover and armor easier.

EDGE: PND.

Melee 1: The Katana, assuming it's a real one instead of a prop, is a very well built sword. Designed in feudal era japan specifically for decapitating enemies in addition to cutting limbs off. This very sharp sword can cut a man in half. The pickaxe on the other hand was never designed to be a weapon, instead being for digging in mines and other forms of digging holes.

EDGE: TWD.

Melee 2: The machete and the bowie knife are both bladed weapons that can be vicious in combat. Simply put I'm going to go with the Machete since it's cutting power, in addition to overall length of the blade, allows it to be a more potent killing machine.

EDGE: TWD.

SKILL EDGES::::

Gonna give this a tie. the TWD have better brutality, but the PND have better mental strength, and with the similarities in all the other aspects, it's simply going to get down to the individual scenario.

Overall Edge/ Expert's opinion: The TWD come out on top simply because they have more superior weaponry then the PND. Even with the Sniper advantage, I'd have to give this to the TWD survivors due to them having total melee superiority and more overall potential in their weapons.

WINNER: The Walking Dead Survivors.

Voter's Note: Very well written, I'm ready to see how it comes out. You made a few minor mistakes on the weaponry, but other than that it's all good.

cheers
