Melee: As Tybalt said and pretty much the entire purpose of those weapon its basically put out of its environment as a combat tool. Yes it can hack well into flesh and the machete on this wiki tends to be one of the more deadly melee weapons despite its original purpose cutting foliage, but the cane knife is a bit too specialized by comparison. The Bowie Knife's thrust is much deadlier than the usual swinging and hacking that is seen with something like the Cane Knife, plus its a bit longer and has a better handle for combat. EDGE: LRA

Sidearms: The classic comparison of the iconic pistols of World War II come face to face once more with the better round of the M1911 facing off against the extra round of the Tokarev. Much like the other times I'll be giving this comparison to the M1911 due to the more punishing round when it does connect. I wouldn't place much value on range, the dense foliage and lack of open areas make it difficult for either to maximize the effective range of their tools. The better training of the Khmer helps them maintain composure and ability to use their sidearms, meaning that extra round of the Tokarev will be much more likely to keep it close and use it when needed, but still once you're hit with the .45 its going to be hard to recover from that. EDGE: LRA

SMGs: The Uzi seems to be the more powerful of the two SMGs, but really its small by comparison of the PPS when it comes to the victory that can be granted here by it. The PPS has superior RoF, clip size albeit by only three rounds, lower weight and a folding stock (Can you clarify this, I want to make sure that Tybalt didn't slip up there) which allows its user to shoulder the recoil better and control his bursts to a greater degree. The Uzi is certainly a menace, but in a combat situation like this one, the PPS is just going to be better overall for an encounter in the jungle between both combatants. EDGE: Khmer Rogue

Rifles: I'm going to assume this is the M16A1 for the purposes of this comparison when facing up against the AK-47. These two rifles and their counterparts tend to struggle much against each other when it comes to comparisons and when comparing the two warriors, it becomes difficult in this case since both are pretty close x-factor wise. I suppose the Khmer Rogue will have a better grasp on their firearms and how to control their fire and operate in the setting, but the LRA have slightly better experience and more damning round in their AK47. When it comes to reliability, neither side has to worry much unless this was going to be a prolonged battle taking course over hours instead of a small skirmish between the two. The muzzle velocity on the M16 is better along with a lighter weight and range (albeit not too useful in the setting), compared to the AK47's more rugged design, punishing round. I'm going to have to tie this overall even if there's a part of me that believes the Khmer should get this. EDGE: Even

Deadliest Warrior: TBA-
