BG1's "Desert Eagle" Edges:

Knives: The Fairbairn-Sykes is a knife optimized for thrusting which is great for surprise attacks but not for direct combat; being the longer knife, the KA-BAR is good at doing both slashing and thrusting attacks well

EDGE: Patton

Revolvers: The cartridge on the Enfield is bigger and as Cfp states, the barrel is also longer

EDGE: Montgomery

Pistols: The Colt has more stopping power in its bullets as well as having more ammo in the magazine

EDGE: Patton

SMGs: Despite the Thompson packing a bigger calibre and faster rate of fire, the Lanchester is more powerful and has a slightly larger magazine

EDGE: Montgomery

Rifles: The Springfield acts a greater sniper rifle than the Lee-Enfield but if you were to engage enemies out in the open, then the Lee-Enfield is perhaps the better rifle here since a sniper rifle might be awkward to use (methinks)

EDGE: Even

LMGs: I've seen this before on DW and I think the same logic applies here - the BAR is more versatile and user-friendly, doesn't jam up, has a farther range, is more powerful and there's less recoil

EDGE: Patton

Grenades: The Mills grenade may be heavier but it has a shorter delay on the detonation than the Mk 2 (at least by the time of El Alamein anyway) plus it can (if it is possible here) be fired from a rifle given the right apparatus

EDGE: Montgomery


 * insert edge here about tanks but oh shit I forgot that both sides used Shermans even if I was gonna use the Crusader tank for Monty*
