El Alamein's "I Get Pissed Off When You Spell My Name Wrong" Edges:

 Close Range: Makarov vs. FN Five Seven:  Easy win for the Five Seven. Its higher magazine capacity means you can keep squeezing the trigger and sending rounds downrange to the enemy long after their pistols have run dry. Add in the marginally important advantage of faster muzzle velocity (really not that much of a big deal, guys, you over-emphasize that way too much), and you've got a winning combo... nah, not really. It's just that the Makarov sucks.

Edge: GROM

 Mid Range: Type 68 AKM vs. H&K 417:  Contrary to what Bulls said, the H&K does not have carbon fouling malfunctions. According to Wikipedia, "the HK417 is a gas-operated, with a short-stroke piston design... [that] is more reliable than the original direct impingement operation of the AR-10 and AR-15 designs, because, unlike these weapons, it does not vent propellant gases directly into the receiver, which deposits carbon fouling onto the bolt mechanism...." The H&K 417 works perfectly fine. Nitpicking aside, the AKM rifle has a larger magazine than the H&K but it only has 400 m effective range as compared to the H&K's 500 m effective range. Larger mags cancel out longer range. Calling it a draw.

Edge: Even

 Long Range: PSL vs. Barret M107:  The PSL is a direct descendant of the Dragunov SVD sniper system - a great Cold-War era sniper rifle, but now outdated and outranged. The Barret's larger caliber round and far greater effective range gives GROM a serious possibility of picking off the entire NKSOF squad before they can get close enough to return fire.

Edge: GROM

 Explosives: Anti-Personnel Box Mine vs. Claymore:  Okay, even though this was already done in "Rangers vs. NKSOF" on Deadliest Warrior, I tend to disagree with their edge. Sure, the Box Mine won't necessarily kill every time, but that just holds up the squad to look after their incapacitated man. It's basically an opportunity to take down the whole squad with minimal effort. The Claymore is cumbersome to set up and you have to be near it to know when to set off the charges - because, as Cfp said, they don't just blow up automatically when someone walks by. Antipersonnel mines will.

Edge: NKSOF

WINNER: GROM

Everyone who voted for the NKSOF seems to be basing it off of Bulls' assessment that the H&K 417 has malfunctions, which I just proved to be incorrect. The superior sniper that GROM packs in can hold the North Koreans at bay, while up-close and personal the Five-Seven will lay down lead long after the Makarov has run dry. It's superior weapons and high-tech training against a nation stubbornly clinging to Cold War ideals, and that's what will lead GROM to victory.
