BG1's "Wolverines vs Zombie Hunters... With a Twist" Edges:

Melee: Hatchet ain't a tomahawk even though it looks likes one so it loses out to the Bowie Knife by miles since the latter is a tried and true weapon, plus it has a longer blade length and can slice and dice

EDGE: Woodbury

Pistol 1: As Waffle points out, the big difference that separates the two guns here is the weight and muzzle velocity with the Beretta dominating in those aspects - its best to have a handgun that is both light and powerful at the same time

EDGE: Woodbury

Pistol 2: Same case here as the previous edge except this time we also have a longer range and a bigger magazine case to further solidify this edge to the Walther

EDGE: Woodbury

SMG: While the TEC-9 is smaller and lighter, its bullets aren't as powerful as the MP5K; running around with a SMG like the TEC-9 is also not as effective an accurate killing tool than the MP5K which, as Skull points out, has a foregrip giving the gun less recoil

EDGE: Woodbury

Rifle 1: When I look at the AUG, I see a rifle-LMG hybrid that is just perfect as a modern day fighting tool; it has greater muzzle velocity, can be controlled easier, has room for a scope allowing for a greater range and to top it all off it has a larger magazine; that anon is stupid to think the AK-103 is going to carry the Wolverines to victory but I will explain why later; for now...

EDGE: Woodbury

Rifle 2: The AKMSU a rifle? Puh-lease, it looks like an AK-47 degenerating into a SMG; anyway, the AK rifle loses out again despite its renowned reliability/durability because it just isn't as powerful as the FAL in anyway

EDGE: Woodbury

Sniper Rifle: Hunting-turned-combat sniper rifle vs tried-and-true combat sniper rifle... well it is obvious which one comes out on top but if I have to explain myself, its because the AWM packs a bigger bullet that deals more lethal damage and that extra round is certainly a big difference when talking about sniper rifles

EDGE: Woodbury

Launchers: The RPG-7 ripoff might pack a powerful warhead but unless its got good range to complement its power then unfortunately it falls short of getting the edge here; however as Skull pointed out, the AT4 does have one major issue which too prevents it from getting the edge - it's a one-use weapon meaning that once the rocket is fired, the tube is thrown away; there's also the problem of back blast i.e. the rocket launch causing severe burns to not only the user but his surroundings; still with the AT4, you can fire off a multitude of rounds so its a plus there

EDGE: Even

X-Factors: Average of 82 for the Wolverines; Average of 72 for the Woodbury

EDGE: Wolverines

Overall Winner: Now where have I seen this before - one side dominating the weapons edges and the other dominating the X-Factors? Well unfortunately to me, this battle is only like that in appearance and I will get to why in a moment. For now though, I'm going to have to side with the others here and say that the Woodbury Army have this fight in the bag because of two things:

1) Superior weaponry. The anon who thinks that the AK-103's presence on the battlefield will give the Wolverines their win doesn't know anything about how a weapon actually functions against another - the AK-103 lost its comparison the Steyr AUG and if you are going to go with the anon in Carnegie vs Governor saying that because the AUG is "new and complicated" and that you prefer the AK-rifle over the AUG because of its durability and reliability in a combat situation, you are truly mistaken and blinded; and heck, even if the AK-103 wins out over the AUG, there is still the issue that the AK-103 is just one (I repeat ONE) weapon among many other weapons here used and they all have edges that tend towards Woodbury so there you go; and

2) The Wolverines may have beaten back an army but there are a couple of things here you haven't considered - the Wolverines are merely teenagers, they may be teenagers who know how to shoot and fight but at the end of the day, they are just a bunch of kids whereas the Woodbury Army are composed of full-grown men who have combat experience before the zombie apocalypse and had time to actually train and refine their skills before and during it; the other reason is that... well... you say in your edge that the Wolverines have taken on and won against "against one of the worlds most powerful army"... are you getting the 2012 Red Dawn mixed up with the original 1987 one? Coz North Korea aren't/weren't really the "world's most powerful army" during 2012 but the Spetsnaz and Russian Armed Forces were seen as equals to the US Army and its special forces back in 1987 - what I'm getting at is that yes, the Wolverines have managed to be victorious over trained soldiers but as I mention again, Woodbury have trained soldiers on their side who pack very good weapons and skills to solidify their stance as excellent fighters in comparison to the North Korean Army (that might be a match for another time but who knows) thus giving the Wolverines a slight disadvantage (also the experience X-Factor difference there is simply negligible)

And now that's all the steam I have to let out
