Sith-venator Wavingstrider's Edges!


 * For Melee the bayonet gets my edge due to it being attached to the rifle, as opposed to having to hold it with your hands. EDGE: Stormtroopers


 * For Short Range the Luger P08's 8-32 7.65x22mm, 9x19mm, or 11.43x23mm (.45 ACP) round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 350-400 m/s and a range of 50 meters it is almost equal to the TT-33's 8 7.62x25mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 420 m/s and a range of 50 meters. Though due to the possibility of a larger magazine and being able to be chambered in the larger .45 ACP round the Luger get's the edge, as it is also very comfortable to shoot, though I only shot it in .22 :( EDGE: Stormtroopers


 * For Mid Range the Gewehr 98's 5 8x57mm round stripper clip with a muzzle velocity of 878 m/s and a range of 800 meters it outclasses the Finish Mosin-Nagant's 5 7.62x53mm round stripper clip with a muzzle velocity of 865 m/s and a range of 800 meters. German Rifles>Russian Rifles. EDGE: Stormtroopers


 * For Long Range the MG 08's 250 8x57mm round fabric belt with a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s, a rate of fire of 450-500 RPM, and a range of 3,500 meters easily defeats the older Maxim's 250 7.7x56mm round (.303 British) canvas belt with a muzzle velocity of 744 m/s, a rate of fire of 500 RPM, and a range of 4,100 meters. NOTE: I based the range of the Maxim Gun off the Vickers Machine Gun, so If I am wrong don't be angry face about it.) EDGE: Stormtroopers'


 * For Special the MP 18's 20, 30, 32, and 50 9x19mm or 7.63x25mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 380 m/s, a rate of fire of 500 RPM, and a range of 200 meters (Assumed) is bested by the PPS's 35 7.62x25mm round magazine with a muzzle velocity of 500 m/s, a rate of fire of 600-900 RPM, and a range of 200 meters. EDGE: Finish Guard


 * For Explosives Grenades>Molotov Cocktails. EDGE: Stormtroopers

OVERALL WINNER: German Stormtroopers-Stormtroopers earn their title in this fight with the hard hitting weapons they have, earning nearly every edge in my vote they will dominate the Finish Guard's who only real edge is the longer range of the Maxim and the better Submachine Gun. 4,000-1,000
