Who Got the Edge
Pipe Pistol vs Gestapo Knife: The Gestapo Knife gets the edge. The Pipe Pistol was an ingenous device, consisting of a small pistol mechanism set within a handheld pipe. To fire the pistol, the operator twisted the pipe's bowl while holding the stem, sending the bullet out from where the person would put it in his mouth. Problem is, the operator would have to get in close for it to work, and they didn't always want to get in close. With the Gestapo Knife, you could hit somebody and kill them, and not have to worry about reloading.
Welrod Silenced Pistol vs Mauser HSc Pistol: The Welrod Silenced Pistol gets the edge. It had a longer barrel length (95mm compared to the HSc's barrel length of 86mm), and a (very) slightly higher ammo capacity (8 rounds compared to the HSc's ammo capacity of 7 rounds). On top of that, the Welrod had a built in silencer, and could kill a target without them hearing the shot.
Sten MK IIS vs MP28: The MP28 gets the edge. It has a greater barrel length than the MK IIS (200m compared to 90mm), rate of fire (550 to 600 rounds a minute, compared to the MK IIS's firing rate of 450 rounds a minute), firing range (100 to 150 meters, compared to the MK IIS's firing range of 50 to 100 meters), and could accept a wider variety of clip sizes (The MP28 could take either 20 or 32 round clips, while the MK IIS could only accept 32 round clips). The only advantage that the Sten MKIIS had over the MP28 is the built in silencer it had, and even then it had problems. Manuals for the MKIIS said to fire the gun in semi-auto mode only, and use full-auto as a last resort, because using full-auto constantly would compromise the silencer's service life.
Coal Bomb vs Stick Grenade: Both explosives get the edge. The Coal Bomb was another clever tool in the arsenal of the S.I.S. The bomb was disguised as an ordinary piece of coal, and inside was the explosive material. All an operator had to do was throw the bomb into a fire, and the heat would activate the explosive materials inside. Problem was, it would take minutes before the bomb exploded. On the other hand, waiting a few minutes for a target to be taken out was sometimes a good thing. With the Gestapo's Stick Grenade, they could carry it with them, and when they needed to take someone out, they simply pulled the pin, and threw the grenade to it's intended destination.

Setup
Berlin, Germany. 1944. The fatherland was getting pummled by the Americans & Britain from the West, the former ally Italy from the south, and the Russians from the east. As the war raged on, Hitler commanded his army to defend his country, yet what happened behind the scenes was never known...until now.
On a particularly busy morning, Dr. Hans Struger was making his way through the crowded streets, constantly looking over his shoulder. A few days earlier, he had decided to defect from Nazi Germany, and managed to contact London through a secret communication. After some more communications with London, he was ordered to make contact with the S.I.S. cell. From there, he would be taken out of the country, and into safe ally hands. He was paranoid throughout the entire time, especially since the Gestapo may have been listening in on his talks with the British.
Dr. Struger was within a few feet of the cell building, when he looked over his shoulder again, and saw two men in trenchcoats standing far behind him. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and his heart beated faster for a moment. He looked back and the building, and spend up his pace. He gripped the doorhandle, and quickly walked right in. He looked out the window, and saw the two trenchcoated men still walking towards the place.
Dr. Struger breathed a sigh of relief. He took off his coat, and placed it on an old coatrack to his left. He looked around, and didn't see anybody at first. He took a seat in a chair right next to a small table. On it was a small mug, and a bottle of german ale. Feeling a little parched, Dr. Struger popped open the bottle, and poured in the alcoholic relief. He took a drink, and felt relieved. Just then, a voice came out.
"Feeling better?"
Dr. Struger was startled by the voice, and fell right out of his seat. A young man came right over, and lifted the poor doctor back to his feet. He wiped off his clothes, and gave him a small towel. He wiped off the ale that splashed his face when he fell out of the chair, and placed the soaked towel onto the table.
"Thank you my friend." the doctor said. "Mind telling me your name?"
"Simon." the young man replied. "I'm new to the S.I.S. You must be Dr. Struger."
"Indeed." replied the doctor. "Where is everyone else?"
Simon cleared his throat, then spoke back. "There's an agent hiding in the alleyway to the left of this building, another one sitting in front of this place, and the other two agents are upstairs getting ready to leave. You have the documents?"
Dr. Struger reached over into his coat, and pulled out a small stack of papers. He handed them right over to Simon, who quickly flipped right through them. "These look good." he said. "I'll bring them upstairs, then we'll get ready to leave."
Dr. Struger knodded, and Simon went upstairs to talk with the other two S.I.S. agents about the papers. Meanwhile, Simon sat down, and started to pour another drink, when he saw the two trenchcoats getting closer and closer to the cell base. He stopped drinking, and ran right up the stairs to tell Simon what was going on.
A second later, and Dr. Struger bursted right through the door. Simon and the two other S.I.S. agents were started by the good doctor's entrance. "Doctor, are you alright?" asked Simon.
"No." the doctor said. "There's two men from the Gestapo coming towards here. What are we going to do?"
Simon placed a hand on Dr. Struger's shoulder. "Don't worry, we got this covered." he said. "Just stay up here, and don't look out the window."
Simon headed downstairs to speak with the two agents outside, leaving the weary doctor upstairs to recover. A moment later, Simon came back inside, and called down the doctor to have some quick words with him.
"Okay Doctor, hide out in the basement for a little bit. We'll come down and bring you back up here when things look clear."
"Thank You." replied Dr. Struger. He walked downstairs, and straight into the basement. He realized that he left his coat upstairs, but given the situation, didn't bother to go back up to get it.
After 3 minutes, the two Gestapo agents arrived at the safe house. Both were very serious looking, and any kind of nonsense would make them kill their target. One of the agents knocked the door of the safe house, and a timid Simon opened the door. "Can I help you?" he asked, making sure to use as best of a German accent as he could.
"Yes you can." replied one of the agents. "You see, your house came up in an investigation of ours, and we came to inspect this place. Do you have anything to hide?"
"Nnnno, sir." Simon replied, laying on the act as much as possible.
"Good." the agent replied. "Rolf, stay outside and may sure nobody...funny looking tries to get inside."
Rolf simply nodded. "Yes Mr. Lindemann." were the only words that he spoke.
Mr. Lindemann walked right inside, still speaing with Simon. Meanwhile, Rolf stood in front of the door, and keeping an eye out for anybody suspicious. The only person he noticed was an old man sitting on a chair right in front of him, holding a small smoking pipe. Suddenly, the old man got up, and walked right over to Rolf, who at this time was starting to feel a bit nervous.
"It's alright sonny, I'm not going to hurt you." the old man said. "I was wondering if you had a light on you. I left my matches at home. Could you help me?"
Rolf nodded, and pulled out his book of matches. The old man ripped one off, and turned around to light his pipe. He shook the match, and dropped it to the ground. Rolf went right back to looking for strangers, when the old man suddenly turned around, pointed his smoking pipe right at him, and somehow released a bullet from the pipe. Rolf felt a sharp pain going through his neck, and he thought he smelt gunsmoke coming from the old man's pipe. Immediately, he took out his knife, and stabbed the old man in the chest. After that, the two men fell on the ground, and died.

Mr. Lindemann though he heard a strange noise, but he simply ignored it as he went back to inspecting the safe house. After he had searched through the place, he took Simon back downstairs, and spoke with him one last time.
"My good friend, everything seems to be in proper order. All I have to do is check the basement, then me and my partner will get out of your business."
"Wait, before you do that, how about a glass of beer?" Simon suddenly blurted out.
Mr. Lindemann paused for a moment. "Sure. I am feeling a little parched." he replied.
"Alright then." said Simon. "Sit down right there, and I'll get you your beer. Let me just put some more coal in the fire, and I'll go get it." Simon walked right over to the small stove, and pulled out a good chunk of coal from the burlap sack next to the stove. He opened the door, and tossed the coal into the stove. He then went to the basement door, and with a few words of "I'll be right back", closed the door and went down the basement steps. Dr. Struger noticed Simon coming into the basement, and went over to speak with him.
"Simon, what's going on?" the doctor asked.
"Just get down, and cover your ears." replied Simon.
The two men went to a corner of the basement, crouched right down, and covered their ears. A minute later, and a loud band went through the safe house. The two men promptly got up, and went back upstairs. When Simon opened the door, he beheld a sight of scrap metal, chunks of coal, and a shredded corpse.

Dr. Struger uncovered his ears, and waited for the ringing to stop. "What was that?" the doctor asked.
"Oh, just a little surprise for our friend unstairs." Simon replied. "Come on. The safe house has been compromised, and we need to leave now."
"Very well." the doctor replied. "Just let me get my coat, then we'll leave."
Simon nodded, then went upstairs to check on the 3 other S.I.S. agents cleaning up the place. Dr. Struger was impressed by the little bomb that Simon used to take out the Gestapo agent. He went to the coatrack, and put on his coat. He felt all over it to make sure that nothing fell out in the ensuing ruckus. Fortunately, the most important item he had with him wasn't damaged at all.
A moment later, Simon walked down the stairs, along with the 3 other S.I.S. agents. They were wearing some heavy coats, which probably concealed some firepower in case they needed it. Simon went to the closet in front of the basement entrance, and took his coat and cap. Dr. Struger didn't see him pick up a gun, but he assumed it was already hidden in the coat.
"Okay doctor, let's go." said Simon, and the group went out the front door.
"Simon, how are we getting out of the city?" Dr. Struger asked.
"There's a car not far from here." replied Simon. "We'll drive it to the docks, and we'll take a getaway boat to England. From there, you'll be safe in allied hands."
"I hope so." the doctor said.
The group stepped out onto the busy streets of Berlin. It's a bit more busy than I thought it was going to be today, Simon thought to himself. Regardless, he directed the doctor and the rest of the group to the car they were going to use. It was a car used by just about everybody else in the city, and they would go almost unnoticed by the checkpoint guards if they didn't screw something up.
There were within  a foot or two of the car, when two more Gestapo agents were walking behind them. Dr. Struger started to panic, when Simon told him to keep walking, and to not look back. They reached the car, and Simon and the doctor got in the front first. One of the S.I.S. agents got in the back seat, while the other 2 stayed outside to deal with the Gestapo.
"Excuse me." said one of the S.I.S. agents. "Can we help you?"
"Yes. Yes you can." one of the Gestapo said, pulling out a MP28 from his coat. He started sprayed lead right into the two S.I.S. agents, dropping them onto the street, and sending the local populace into a panic.

"****!" the S.I.S. agent in the back of the car yelled out. He drew his Welrod Silenced Pistol from his coat, and started shooting right back at the Gestapo. Most of the clip went right into one of the Gestapo agents, sending him into a vegetable cart, and bloodying up the vegetables. The few stray bullets fortunately went into the vegetables, and not into any innocents.

WW2 S.I.S.: 2/Gestapo: 2

The other Gestapo agent started making a run for it. The S.I.S. agent put his pistol back in his coat, and told Simon to start up the car. The engine came to life as Simon turned the key, and with a push of the gas, they were on their way.
"That's was a close one." a partially stunned Dr. Struger said.
"Indeed." replied Simon.
They were now on their way to the docks, where their escape boat was waiting. All seemed to be okay, when Simon noticed a black car driving up behind them. At first, he thought it was just a rich person on a afternoon drive. Things started to get a little bit tense when the car drove up to their right. The driver of the other car rolled down their window, and pulled out a Mauser HSc pistol, and started firing. Simon & Dr. Struger ducked down to avoid getting shot, but the S.I.S. agent in the back wasn't so lucky. Two bullets went right into his head, killing him in an instant.

WW2 S.I.S.: 1/Gestapo: 2

"Damnit!" Simon shouter. "Doctor, hold onto something!"
Dr. Struger just held onto the door, and Simon pushed down the gas pedal down all the way, accelerating the car even further. The black car behind them seemed to slow down for a second, then suddenly speed up. From there it was an intense race thorugh the streets of Berlin. The populace were scared that two cars were driving around, almost hitting innocent people. Simon, despite his speed, was careful not to hit anybody.
A few minutes later, and the two speeding cars were near the docks. They were neck and neck, and Simon just hoped that their tires wouldn't wear out by the time they got to the boat. The black car got right up to them again, and that's when SImon got an idea. "You still holding on tight?" he asked Dr. Struger.
"Yes." the doctor replied. "Why do you ask?"
"Cause I'm doing to do something...stupid." said Simon, as he started ramming the other car. The doctor just held on tighter, and hoped that his door didn't pop off. Simon kept bashing the other car, pushing it further & further to the edge. This kept going on for at least 4 minutes, when Simon finally rammed the car hard enough to push the other one off the road. The black car started flying towards the war, and after a couple of seconds, it landed into the ocean, and it slowly sank into the cold depths.
Simon slowed down, and then stopped the car. He & Dr. Struger got out, and ran back to where the car drove off the road. When they got back, the car finally was underwater, giving it's occupant a grisly death.

WW2 S.I.S.: 1/Gestapo: 1

Simon took out a small camera, and took a picture of where the bubbles were still coming up from the sinking car as a dark reminder of his job. The flash came out, and the camera went back inside the coat. "I guess that's the end of that."
"No, it's not." the doctor replied.
"Huh?" said Simon. A loud bang formed right behind him, sending his body flying down into the ocean. The body sank in less than a minute.

WW2 S.I.S.: 0/Gestapo: 1

Gestapo: 550
Gestapo Knife: 50

Ending Assessment: The Gestapo had more reliable weapons, a do-or-die attitude, and a ruthlessness that couldn't be matched by anyone.
Strongest Weapon: With a body wrecking 300 kills, the MP28 is the strongest weapon in this fight
Weakest Weapon: With only 25 kills, the S.I.S.'s Pipe Pistol is the weakest weapon of this fight.
