AR-15 vs. AK-74: The AR-15 is an improved version of the CAR-15, which derived from the M16 RIfle. The AK-74 is a way improved version of the AK-47. In 'Nam, U.S. Marines abondoned their M16s for AK's. And when you have an AK-74 is a trained or even untrained man's ahnds it is deaddly beyond belief. No comparison at which is the better gun.

EDGE: RUSSIAN MAFIA

Mac-10 vs. Ppsh-41: The Ppsh guns are classics but they belong in the past. The Mac-10 is more modern and has better combat capabilities.

EDGE: SICILIAN MAFIA

M1911 vs. Makarov: Both are great sidearms and are accurate and reliable, so I can't really see any significant difference here.

EVEN

Stiletto vs. Hunting Knife: I don't care if the Stiletto can go in between ribs for the kill; the Hunting Knife can go through ribs for the kill.

EDGE: RUSSIAN MAFIA

Pineapple Grenade vs. RGD-5 Grenade: The Pineapple Grenade packs a powerful TNT charge, which is more than can be said for this pitiful Russian explosive.

EDGE: SICILIAN MAFIA

Overall, the Russians have more advanced weaponry (cough cough AK-74 cough cough) and that, coupled with their brutalility, will overwhelm the intuitive but a bit power-lacking Sicilians. The Russians can either beat them or nearly match them range-for-range and that's gonna be the difference here.
