Lets start with some edges.

Close - If this was just the M4X vs Broadsword then the sword would have it all the way, but its an arsenal of knives of multiple varieties and functions. It means that Frank will having a parrying weapon, which reduces Slades swords advantage in length, Frank may even have throwing knives which would out range the sword. That said the sword is likely more lethal then any individual knife. So it power and lethality vs versitility/options and back up weapons. EDGE: Even

Mid -

Pistols - Makerov vs Beretta, the M9 is more accurate and has the better mag capacity, but the Makerov is lighter and more reliable. EDGE: Even

Shotguns - Model 21 vs Remington. The Remington might be the better combat shotgun in the traditional sense of the word. That said the sawed off is lighter and shorter, which makes it easier to manouver and use in an urban space. Similiarly the double barrel may not hold as many rounds, but it is easier to releod, ecspecially with a speed loader and while the remington may have a faster ROF over all, oweing to it larger ammo capacity,  the Model 21 can fire it's rounds in what amounts to semi-auto ( one shot for each pull of a trigger ) or even 2 round burst ( pulling both triggers ), said burst is going to give it better spread and power then anything the 870 can hope for, it is also mechanically simpler less moving parts etc, meaning the likely hood for a jam/failure is less. EDGE: Even

Long -

SMG - If this was an old school Tommy Gun with a drum mag and orginal design, i'd likely favor it, but it appears to be a later military model. With a stick mag and cheaper production and design changes. So things are murkier as the Uzi weighs less, has far better range and only 4 less rounds, yeah EDGE: EVEN

RIFLE - Folks seem a bit confused this is the AK-74 not 47 it fires a smaller round ( 5.45 vs the 47 7.62, or the M4's 5.56 ) and doesn't have the reliability record of the 47. Not to say its not reliable, but its not the 47. That said the M4 while perhaps the most reliable of the M16 family has had its problems, so the 74 is probably still more reliable. That said the M4 has range, accuracy, and ROF. Damn it this is another close one EDGE: EVEN

Special - the staff is more practical, but the garrote is more lethal. EDGE: EVEN

Grenade - They both go boom really well. EDGE: even

Yeah, yeah, by the weapons it looks like a tie, but its not. It comes down to the man, and that man is Frank Castle, The Punisher. Slade's cocky and self assured, he's the kind of blow hard that Frank puts down all the time. Wilson just doesn't have Castle will to win and sacrifice if need be.
