User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Agent 47 (Hitman series) vs Ein/Ellen/"Phantom" (Phantom of Inferno)/@comment-4978251-20130309031250

Garrote- Most would say this is even, but Agent 47 has probally used his garrote longer and likely has come up with ways to use it in combat outside of stealth. Edge- Agent 47

Knives- Again, most would say the combat knife, but both sides have advantages and disadvantages. The switchblade is faster and easier to hide as well as being great for surprise attacks, but the combat knife is larger and designed for open combat. I agree with you on even. Edge-Even

Pistols- I give this to the Silverballer as they both guns are equal in almost everyting, though the Silverballers appear to have more range and it is likely as reliable as the Mark 23 due to modifications. Plus Agent 47 almost always uses two, meaning more shot and less room for error. Edge- Agent 47

Magnums- The Taurus gets this for greater stopping power and possible less recoil due to Agent 47 being able to fire it one handed accuratly. Edge- Agent 47

SMG's- I am a big fan of Steyr's, but the Uzi has twice the range and 5 more rounds. Edge- Ein

Assualt Rifles- They are both pretty even, with equal rates of fire, same capacity, same caliber, but the M4 gets this for being lighter and easily portable, and possibly more accurate since the M16 is set tp full auto. Edge- Agent 47

Sniper Rifle- Normally, more ammo is better, but the WA-2000 has a better scope, and when it comes to sniper rifles capacity dosen't really matter if you have more accuracy. Edge- Agent 47

Overall- I have to go with Agent 47 due to him having mostly better weapons with either more accuracy or stopping power. Agent 47 greater stealth will allow him to get the first attack and his greater physical strength will allow him to fire his guns with less recoil and possibly greater accuracy. Plus he takes the creativity thanks to his elaborate trap making skills and greater improvising skills. Overall after a possibly short stealth fight and a likely lengthy fight, Agent 47 will come out on top. Overall- Agent 47
