Deadliest Edges:

Melee: The Marines easily take this category. The KA-BAR is not only longer, it is much better as a slashing weapon compared to the NR-40. Edge: Marines

Close: The M1911 takes a slight edge over the TT pistol. The .45 ACP fired by M1911 is slightly more deadlier and allows the M1911 to have more range. The TT may have a greater fire rate but I prefer the greater lethality the M1911 possesses. Edge: Marines

Mid: The Thompson submachine gun takes the edge for the same reason as the M1911. It fires the larger .45 ACP round and possesses greater range. Edge: Marines

Long: Based on the environment, the Mosin-Nagant is superior to the M1 Garand. The American rifle is less reliable and is prone to jamming due to the frost and liquid that may accumulate in the chamber. Edge: Finnish Winter Guard

Special: The M1919 is better than the Maxim because of its portability and cooling system. The Maxim requires a two man crew, constant barrel changes, and sometimes water cooling. Edge: Marines

Explosive: Molotovs are too rudimentary and are not as reliable as the Mk. 2 grenade. Edge: Marines

Winner: Finnish Winter Guard, the Marines may have most of the edges, but the environment plays a factor. The Marine Raiders were trained for amphibious combat which was why they fought in the Pacific Campaign, not in Europe. The Finnish are superior in a snowy kind of environment and are used to fighting in this manner. In 1000 battles, the Finnish will win 650 to 350.
