Who got the Edge
MP40 vs Type 100: This is a close one, considering that both fire at about the same rate (MP40 fires 550 rounds-a-minute, vs 600 rounds-a-minute from the Type 100), but i give the edge to the MP40 for it's 32-round clip (Type 100 only had a 30 round clip), and it's better accuracy.
Kar98k vs Arisaka: A tie. Both are highly deadly, and highly accurate rifles.
MG42 vs Type 99: The MG42 is clearly the winner. It was a highly versitle machinge gun. It could be belt fed or loaded with 100-round clips, and if the barrel got too hot, it could be switched out with a cool one in a relatively quick amount of time. Plus, it got the name "Hitler's Buzzsaw" for a reason.
Luger PO8 vs Type 14 Nambu: Despite being based off the Luger, the Nambu just doesn't cut it. While it can definately kill, it just doesn't have the oomph like the Luger has. Edge to the Luger.
Panzershreck vs Type 4 Rocket Launcher: Unfortunately, the Type 4 gets the edge. It simply has a far greater range than the panzershreck.
Stick Grenade vs Type 99 Grenade: The stick grenade gets the edge. Unlike the Type 99, you don't have to clang
