'''Tybaltcapulet's "Why must you put the Khmer Rouge through this?" Edges:'''

(I got the scenario wrong, the Soviets supported the Vietnamese and the Americans supported the Khmer Rouge, which means I reversed it. My apologies.)

Pistols: Yet another edge that the Tokarev can't take, because it came before the time of higher capacity, lower power pistols. The Stechkin not only has over twice the capacity, but it also is able to pull off a M712 Schnellfeuer, and give automatic fire. In super close range, this will absolutely dominate, and rip the Khmer Rouge to shreds.There is no body armor or protection for either of these two, so the power in the rounds is quite negligible.(It's not like the Stechkin's underpowered anyways)Edge:Mujahiedeen

Rifles:Both function just about the same. The Lee-Enfield has twice the ammo. It will be more effective for longer, nothing else to say.Edge:Mujahiedeen

Assault Rifles: The M16-A has everything it needs to beat the AKM. Higher fire rate, higher capacity, and longer range. And yes, the M16 suffered from some reliability issues in its day, but in a smaller conflict like this, it won't have a massive impact on the overall battle. Edge:Khmer Rouge

SMGs: I see you used the effective rate of fire for the PPS here. Which I find to be pretty odd because for the M16-A you used the cyclic rate, and also didn't use the practical rate of fire for the PKM. So it's kind of confusing since I can't really tell which rate of fire you're using for all of them. So since you looked at the ROF of the other weapons in their cyclic terms, i'm going to do the same with the PPS, which has a cyclic ROF of 600-700 RPM.(And unlike the Breda fucking 30, it's not a piece of shit, so the Khmer Rouge should be able to fire it at that speed.)

And anyways, the PPS has three extra rounds, and extra range, and a superior ROF.

(P.S. You should stick to one type of ROF in your automatic weapons descriptions, i.e cyclic or practical, unless the weapon is known for very poor performance, such as the aforementioned Breda 30) Edge:Khmer Rouge

LMG 1:The RPD is simply the more consistent weapon. Better ROF, more than three times the ammo, and it still is just as mobile as the ZB. It's just a better machine gun. Edge:Khmer Rouge

LMG 2: The PKM totally reverses the edge before. This time the PKM has the larger capacity, higher rate of fire, and absolutely destroys the RP-46 in range. Nuff said. Edge:Mujahideen

Explosives: RPG-2 vs RPG-7. The RPG-7 literally designed to replace the RPG-2, with superior range, and a better warhead.It'll be the harder hitting explosive in general. Edge: Mujahideen

Overall/X-factors: You could give the '''Mujahideen" all WW1 weapons, and I still think they would give the Khmer Rouge major trouble. This is exactly why I will ignore weapons for the overall judgement for the most part. The Mujahideen are much more successful as a group in general, with much better training,experience,tactics, mental health etc. They literally take every important X-factor except for brutality which even then I don't doubt they'll kill any enemy they see. Many of the Khmer Rouge were inexperienced teenagers and pre-teens put into battle and genocide,throughly traumitizing them. And their track record isn't exactly great when confronted with any determined force, as they were known for getting their asses handed to them by the Vietnamese in their respective war.
