User blog comment:Cfp3157/Season 2 Episode 1: Gurkhas vs Waffen SS/@comment-4552610-20120923180239

Undead RVD's Edges of ....... Stuff:

Overall Winner: the Gurkhas
 * Melee: The Kukri is a beast of a knife, with it's range, speed and sharpness. The Hunting Knife can't beat it.
 * Edge: Gurkhas
 * Close Range: The P38 wins it for me. It has numbers WAY more rounds and is magazine fed. That is big for me.
 * Edge: SS
 * Mid Range: The Lee-Enfield has twice the number of rounds and has a faster rate of fire. It wins for me.
 * Edge: Gurkhas
 * Long Range: This one is tied to me. The Bren has more rounds and it's muzzle velocity and range are BARLEY superior. The FG42, on the other hand, is more reliable. Neither are really better in my eyes.
 * Edge: Even
 * The SS were more of a tool of terror and less of a special combat group. The Gurkhas, however, are that and MORE. Their Experience, physicality, fighting spirit, reputation, and mind set are FAR greater than the SS. The SS are a bunch of racist a$$-holes trained and experienced in killing unarmed civilians and would run for the hills if anyone capable were attacking them (i.e. The Americans and the Soviets). The Gurkhas are deadly men trained to kill in the Alps and will not surrender. The SS have little to NO chance.
