Laq's "Best Korea" Edges

PSL vs. M24: Since this battle takes place inside a building, the sniper rifles will be of limited use. That aside, the PSL takes the edge for its greater ROF and range, both of which are important because they share the same magazine capacity. Edge: NKSOF

Type 88-2 Assault Rifle vs. FN SCAR-L CQC: Typically the 88-2 would get this really easily due to have over twice the range, but like mentioned previously, this is an indoor fight, so that won't be as significant an edge as it would otherwise. Regardless, the 88-2 still wins out because of a more powerful round and the fact that some of them will be equipped with a 100-round drum. Edge: NKSOF

Type 68 Tokarev TT33 vs. Beretta M9: Here's where things start turning around for the Americans. The Tokarev might have a slightly better round, but the Beretta can put out a lot more rounds at a quicker pace before needing to be reloaded. Edge: USAR

Hapkido and Taekwondo vs. SOCP: All of these are effective forms of H2H combat, but I like SOCP better purely because, although there's nothing bad about TKW and HPK, SOCP is all about getting you away from your opponent and back to your gun, where you'll be at a bigger advantage than any amount of martial arts training could give you. Edge: USAR

PMD Anti-Personnel Box Mine vs. M18A1 Claymore: It'd be nice if you kept units of measure consistent next time. Anyways, it should be obvious that the claymore is much better suited for this situation. Unless the North Koreans are packing a jackhammer, they're going to have a tough time actually hiding their mine from view. Meanwhile, the claymore is perfect for this scenario. Edge: USAR

X-Factors and Conclusion: There are two main reasons for why I think the outcome of this battle will be the same as the last one. First, the Rangers have the superior weapons and techniques for close-quarters, and the edge there will be overall more effective due to the fact that the fight takes place in an enclosed area. Second, the Rangers are far more experienced that the NKSOF because they get deployed into combat in locations around the world, while the North Koreans stick with preparing for a potential future war. The NKSOF just isn't prepared to fight such a practiced team in a situation they're ill-equipped for. Winner: United States Army Rangers!
