Who Got the Edge
AK-47 vs Uzi: Unlike season 2, I'm using the full sized Uzi. It has a good shooting distance (200 meters compared to 100 meters), and packs more of a punch than it's smaller counterpart. Meanwhile, everybody in the world knows of the tried-and-true capabilities of the AK-47. Basically, I'm calling this a tie.

RPD vs RPK: Although this one was originally going to be a tie, but I've decided to give this one to the RPD. The RPK is an impressive machine gun, but it is nothing more than an overgrown AK-47. The RPD, on the other hand, has massive firepower & high ammo capacity (100-round drums compared to 40-round clips).

RPG-7 vs RG-6 Grenade Launcher: Unfortunately, I'm giving this one to the RG-6 Grenade Launcher. Having been around since the mid-90s, the RG-6's was developed with numerous unique features, two of which include caseless grenades (makes reloading faster), and the ability to hold 6 grenades at a time. The RPG-7 is still a good rocket launcher, but it's age makes it hard to compete with today's launcher weapons.

Pipebomb vs RGD-5 Grenade: The Pipebomb gets the edge. While the RGD-5 is a fine grenade, it's explosive range is only 3 meters, and if it's thrown inside a container (like in season 1), it loses a fair amount of explosive power. The Pipebomb, on the other hand, has an incredible amount of explosive power, and doesn't lose much when it's inside a container.

Setup
In a warehouse along the waterfront in Moscow, a group of local Russian mobsters had just settled down for a small drinking party. Hours earlier, they had stolen some weapons from an oriental gang trying move into their terf. It was relatively easy to take their stuff, almost too easy, thought Boris, the leader of the small group. The cup of Vodka on his desk took away his worries as he consumed the drink in a swift gulp.

Little did Boris know, their acquisition of the weapons was a trap setup by the Chinese Triad. A month prior, the Russian Mafia had crashed a highly important meeting, killing several members, and taking the few survivors hostage for a ransom of weapons & money. The higher-ups within the Triad wanted payback, so they order a group of 5 members, led by the infamous Yuan-Chang, to locate the group who were responsible. With the tracking device hidden in one of the stolen weapon crates going off, they were well on their way.

The Triad's van pulled up about a block away from the warehouse. Taking out a pair of binocculars, he spotted a guard outside. Taking the RPK from the weapons locker, he aimed the barrel at the guard's head, and pulled the trigger. The bullet landed right between the eyes of the guard, who quickly slumped the ground in a lifeless heap.

Boris & the rest of the group heard the gunshot from within the warehouse. Almost immediately, everyone scrambled for weapons. Taking the AK-47 from within his desk, Boris loaded a clip into the gun, and walked out of his office. He saw one of his men set a pipebomb inside one of their getaway vehicles, two grabbing an RPG-7 & RPD, and his second-in-command, Koslov, with an AK-47 with a thermal scope attached. "All the better to see them through the smoke." He said. Boris nodded in agreement, and got ready to fight.

Getting out of the van, the Triad members proceeded towards the warehouse. The got up to the front gate, with 3 members on the left, and two on the right. They could hear the mobsters inside scrambling. Waiving an underling towards the door, Yuan-Chang ordered him to open the gate. He got to opening the gate, but a hail of bullet from within the warehouse came storming out, cutting the underling into bloody ribbons.

"Zhize!" Yuan-Chang shouted. The gunfire kept blasting through the small opening in the gate. A grenade was thrown into the warehouse by an underling on the right side of the gate to stop the gunfire, giving them even a second to get inside. They could hear the grenade roll on the ground for a moment or two, then the blast came. They could hear shrapnel fly all around, but no screams. "Gai! Gai!" shouted Yuan-Chang, and the four Triad members stormed into the warehouse.

As they stormed in, Koslov, on top of a stack of crates at the far end of the warehouse, took aim with his AK-47, and proceeded to mow down one of the incoming Triad members. The body suddenly froze, then fell to the ground.

Feeling satisfied that he got a kill through the smoke, he failed to noticed a Triad member sneaking up on his position with a RG-6 Grenade Launcher. The member aimed the launcher up at the highest crate. He fired the launcher, and a shower of wood, metal, and body parts came soon after. This had the unattened effect of crushing another Russian mobster near the crates, as the whole stack came tumbling down on him.

For a moment, gunfire had ceased. The Triad members ran towards the ruined crate to examine the damage that was caused. All they were able to see was arms sticking out of the wreckage. "Feiwu." Yuan-Chang said. The other two Triad members were laughing at their's boss's choice of words, unaware of a mobster sneaking up from behind. He aimed his RPG-7 at Yuan-Chang, and fired off a rocket. Immediately, the Triad members heard the rocket coming towards them. Pushing Yuan-Chang and the other member out of the way, taking the full damage of the rocket all by himself.

Soon afterwards, what little of the underling's body that was still around came falling down back to the ground. The Triad member nearest was sprayed with blood, and perhaps a little brain. Feeling the bloodlust rising up in his body, he picked up his Uzi, and went charging at the Mafia member. "Wasane! Wasane!" he screamed as he charged, letting loose the full power of his weapon. The Mafia member was able to get at least 2 shots off from his AK-47 before the both of them died.

A minute later, Yuan-Chang came out of cover. He walked over to where the gunfight was. Both bodies were bloody, and riddled with bullets. Bowing his head in silence, he then realized that this operation was a failure. Deciding to head back to China in hopes that he would be forgiven for his actions, he needed a getaway vehicle. While the van outside was an option, Yuan-Chang didn't want to get shot on the rare chance that someone was still alive after this encounter. He then remember the black car at the far end of the warehouse, and decided to go after that.

He got to the car a moment later. After looking on the outside for any possible places for explosive devices, Yuan-Chang was happy that he didn't see any. He got into the car, and was surprised to see that the keys were in the ignition. He started the car up, and was happy that noone had seen him. Driving off, he was glad that he was coming out of this alive.

Just before he was going to exit the warehouse, he saw a man step out of the corner of his rear-view mirror, holding a detonator. Stopping the vehicle, he immediately began to search for an explosive device. A moment later, Yuan-Chang had spotted a pipebomd in the backseat. Before he could throw it out of the car, Boris had pressed down on the button. "Gaisi!" Yuan-Chang yelled out as the pipebomb exploded, creating a infernal fireball. "Dosvodanya." Boris said as he raised a glass of Vodka to his lips.
