Tybaltcapulet's "Absolute Mad Lads" Edges: 

Rifles: The M16 takes this due to the fact that Postal dude not only can use it at longer ranges, but it has the better rate of fire, which in turn allows one to put out more rounds more quickly. The M16 is just the more reliable weapon for this battle.Edge:Postal Dude

Pistols: I think Englishmen is exalting range above all other stats incorrectly here.Normally I would say range is quite important as I did and will say in other edges, but here I don't really believe that A) The Desert Eagle can consistently make accurate shots at 220m as that seems to be maximum effective range and B) That Postal Dude would be using the Desert Eagle at that range, as he would more likely be using his automatic weapons way before he would resort to using the Eagle. And having over twice the rounds of the Eagle isn't something to be scoffed at. Having that much of an advantage in capacity will allow the Crusader to keep up firing for much longer, while Postal Dude really has to make his rounds count in order to really put Crusader down.Edge: The Crusader

SMGs: I see we've returned to the old MP5 vs MAC-11 comparison that has been shown many times in the past. And I still support the MP5 here. It's a more controllable and reliable weapon that pisses on the MAC hard here. Better capacity, range, more ammo, muzzle velocity, etc. The MAC-11's 1200 RPM to me is also a liability, in that the MAC-11 will be spraying all over the place and generally will be hard to make accurate. The MP5 has no such problem.Edge: The Crusader

Shotguns: These shotguns are almost identical in functionality. There's no edge to really give.Edge: Even

Heavy Weapons: M249 all the way. The M79 is a nice explosive addition to the Crusader's kit and can do some serious damage, but the SAW is far more consistent with a great fire rate, high capacity and easily more range to it.The M79 is a slow weapon that is reliant on the Crusader being able to take Postal Dude out with one or two shots. Postal Dude can take just about as many shots with the M249 as he wants and needs to get the job done. I'd take the conistent power of an LMG anyday over the outdated M79.Edge: Postal Dude

Rocket Launchers: The AT-4 has this in the bag. It's not even because its rocket is much more powerful, because it really isn't. It's the fact that Postal Dude can just straight up lock onto targets with HS rockets, while the SMAW seems to just be a regular ol' basic ass rocket launcher with lower overall stats anyways.Edge: Postal Dude

Melee: Neither of these weapons are particularly important in the grand scheme of this battle, but I do give the edge to the Boomerang Machete here. It's bigger, more powerful, and as the name suggests, be used as  you guessed it, a boomerang. And not only does it have actual range being used this way, it rips through people like they're nothing. The Crusader's little knife can't really compete with that level of power and versatility.Edge: Postal Dude

Hot Weapons: I prefer the Napalm launcher, as Postal Dude can just keep firing canister of friggin napalm at the Crusader, while his counterpart is forced to keep the flamethrower on his back and try and force PD into its range. And the fact that the Napalm launcher has different firing functions to keep up the pain in various ways shifts this in its favor even more.Edge: Postal Dude

Armor: And to finish Postal Dude streak of edges here we have his clearly superior SIC armor. The fact that it can easily survive explosions with no real trouble compared to the bulletproof vest is really a problem here. One shot from the AT-4 and the Crusader is in deep shit. And the fact that it's vulnerable to edged attacks as well really demonstrates its inferiority to the SIC armor. Edge: Postal Dude

Overall/X-factors: The Postal Dude stomps this battle. He destroys most of the weapons categories, with a better Rifle, Heavy Weapon, Rocket Launcher, Melee, and even better Armor. The Crusader is already screwed by some really lackluster equipment, but as warriors, Postal Dude also takes this edge. He himself is already more durable than the Crusader, and he's also faced a wider variety of enemies, who on top of that seem more challenging, with the added bonus cherry on top of telekinesis which allows him to toss people like ragdolls and retreive objects and weapons in case they are lost. The Crusader's ability only comes into affect after he kills someone, and I find it unlikely that he'll be able to kill PD. PD is just superior in every way.

Postal Dude: 4000

The Crusader: 1000
