Hey my bros of chaos.
Ok let's keep this Dealiest Warrior train rolling.
Costa nostra vs. Yakuza. The thing about these modern fights is honestly, when modern guns are introduces the difference between how deady a weapon is is measured in microns. The factors are really rate of fire and clip size. Honestly the clip size of the Thompson .45 sub machine gun was probably to me the biggest factor. When dealing with a group being able to fire off 50 rounds in a few seconds is pretty devastating. Also the nunchuck. So the nunchuck has a very important historical context for it's use. It was a farming tool, and when the samurai took the Okinawan's weapons they needed a way to defend themselves from the assholes that rules them, so weapons like the Bo, the nunchuck, the Sai. All farming tools adapted to weapons to defend themselves. Also, don't fucking flip them you chode. that is a cinematic thing. You hold it in your hand together and use it like a club unless you are doing a disarm or a choke.
The ice pick, come on my dude. Sai is way better. And while the walther P38 is pretty good, the sawed off shotgun in way better. It may be two shots BUT being shot with buckshot is like being shot a dozen times where the walther requires 3-5 shots before you get a realistic kill. So rate of fire is kind of slower than the walther P38 despite how it seems on the surface.
Spetsnaz s. Green Beret. Ok the Mossberg vs. Saiga, AND the dragunov vs. the M24. In both cases are you fucking kidding. I don't care what they said about the "accuracy" of the M24. In this day and age. In the year of your lord 2009 you are using pump action and bolt action weapons over Semi-automatic? Why? But like why? Honestly the Assault Rifles, pistols, and grenades are more or less the same. Though I do think the Baretta is slightly better for having a slightly bigger clip. Also a shovel vs. a knife effective at 20 ft? come on Green Berets. You guys should know better.
I know people tell me pump action and bolt action weapons are more reliable because of less moving parts, but like if you do even the most basic maintenance on your weapon the difference is negligible, at best. If you use pump/bolt actions your rate falls and the act of cycling your shot means taking your focus off the targets before using.
My wife watched this one with me and called me a gun snob. Owch.
