119's "Dead Raid" Edge

As the weapons of the two sides cannot be directly compared, I will evaluate the Raider's arsenal (though I'm not all that familiar with Fallout):

The combat shotgun's 12-round magazine, as well as its close-in firepower should serve the Common Raider well as an all-around zombie killer, though their melee weapon leaves something to be desired, the metal pipe not being designed as a weapon.

As for the the combat raiders, the assault rifle, assuming it is in 7.62mm given its FAL-like appearance, should provide good range and stopping power. While its magazine is shallower than the 30 rounds of most assault rifles, its should still be effective in a fortress, with the combat raiders providing long range fire and the commons providing close up defense.

The Fiend Raiders's flamethrower has the potential to be an absolutely devastating close range weapon, great for incinerating zombie hordes.

The Viper carries what is basically a 9mm version of the M3 SMG. As such, the weapon has a decent-size magazine, but lacks the stopping power of the .45 used by the real-life M3. This could be a disadvantage against Brute zombies.

The Kahn's weapons are powerful with the long-range lethality of the Trail Carbine/Winchester and the short range power of the shotgun. However, their weapons both have shallow magazines and long reloads which may be a problem in the zombies breach the fortress gates.

Overall Winner: For the Raiders to win this match, given the current numbers, every raider only needs to kill three zombies each. With the raiders protected by fortress walls and work as a team and using their weapons to their greatest advantage, with those with rifles firing from longer ranges, while those with shotguns, SMGs, and flamethrowers fire when they get closer, the raiders should survive the undead onslaught.

Winner: Raiders
