Elgb's "World Superpowers ain't got nothing on this Dudez..." EDGES!!!

Melee: The Piha has the longer range and probably a devastating strike with that slightly curved blade. But the bayonet can be attached on a firearm giving practicality and range. So it's an even for me. EDGE: Even

Close: No contes the Tokarev wins. Both have been reliable so far in a messy environment, but the Tokarev is semi-auto. Which means it has the advantage in rate of fire, accuracy and reload speed. And its 7.62 bottleneck bullet offers more muzzle velocity and punch. EDGE: Vietcong

SMG: The Sterling SMG seems to have more advantages than the Mat-49 in range and magazine count. The only thing that's a problem is its side magazine, but everything else it commits. EDGE: Tamil

Rifle: No contest. The Vz. 58 was meant to be an improve Ak-47. It has the longer range and breechlock mechanism gives it more control in a firefight than the mule-kicking Ak. EDGE: Tamil

Explosive: The RPG may pack more range and boom, but it was designed agaisnt tanks... not people. The Milkor has a magazine that can fire more rounds in quick succession, while the RPG needs to be constantly relaoded. It's splash damage and shrapnel was meant to take out an army easily. EDGE: Tamil

Special: The punji stakes are not reliable and needs luck and stupidity to be effective. It wasn't meant to actually kill, but more to scare enemies. The Suicide Vest offers both psychological warfare and practicality. It can kill easier and way faster than the stakes. EDGE: Tamil

X-Factors:  Both fighters are guerilla warriors with subpar training. But I do give the training edge to the Vietcong because they cross-traiend with the NVA. In terms of success the Vietcong was a factor in winning the Vietnam WAr and their tactics did prove heavy casualties on the US Military. The Tamil did fought and defeated the Sri Lankan army, but they're not as powerful as the US. EDGE: Vietcong

Deadliest Warrior?

Sorry my man Charlie but the Tamil Tigers wins this. Contrary to what you see in the movies, the Vietcong was just a small factor in the Vietnam War (it was the NVA who did most of the fighting). The Tamil fought the Sri Lankan army by themselves and won. And having the more advanced weapon here and surely the Tamil Tigers would win.
