OK, I'll vote:


 * Handguns: The Glock has a much larger magazine than the Tokarev. Major Edge: Glock


 * Assault Rifle: The M4 carbine has a longer range, and a higher rate of fire. The AK has a larger round, but this is not enough to secure it the win. Edge: STF's M4


 * SMGs: Again, the MP5 is newer, and has a larger magazine. Edge: STF


 * Machine Gun: While the baseline magazine for the RPK holds 40 as opposed to the Ultimax's 30, I'm assuming the STF will be using a 100 round drum, while VC will likely be using the 40 round box as opposed to the 75-round drum. Either way, their outgunned. Edge: STF


 * Sniper: The Heckler and Koch PSG-1 supposedly has a shorter range than the Dragunov, but I'm not sure I believe that. The PSG has better optics, meaning greater accuracy at a range, and can use a larger magazine. Edge: STF.


 * Special: The two weapons are very different and hard to compare. The POMZ 2 could give the VC an element of surprise, however, the M203 allows for direct fire high-explosive firepower. Edge: Even


 * X-Factors: The VC take terrain familiarity, however the STF are not far behind, being used to jungle combat. The STF have a definite edge in training and tech, while VC probably take experience and possibly loyalty. overall, However, I give the edge to the STF for their superior combat training and much greater firepower.


 * Overall Winner: The STF takes this easily. They have far superior and more modern weaponry, as well as greater training. In a squad-on-squad battle this will make the difference. They are also trained in jungle warfare and probably studied VC tactics given their similar foe- the LTTE. Overall, I give the win to the Special Task Force
