After agreeing to snipe a Japanese model car that threatens to overtake the European market at a rally race Golgo 13 is ambushed by a pair of elite former soldiers wielding the latest in assault rifle technology on behalf of a mysterious employer seeking to invent the greatest assault rifle the world has ever seen. What ensues is a deadly duel between the two brothers and Golgo that will ultimately prove once and for all which assault rifle is superior to all the rest.
- Awesome, but Impractical: The rifles used by the brothers are very advanced and come with many useful modifications, but also suffer from unexpected flaws that compromise their effectiveness when pitted against Golgo's simple yet effective M16.
- Boring, but Practical: Golgo's humble M16 proves superior to the rifles used by the brothers due to a combination of Duke's cunning ingenuity and simple practicality that gave him the edge he needed to win.
- Elites Are More Glamorous: The main challenge Duke Togo faces in this episode is a pair of brothers who are ex-French Foreign Legion soldiers turned mercenaries.
- Gun Porn: Par for the course in this series, but the amount of detail and exposition given to guns in this episode borders on obsessive. Viewers are even treated to a brief history lesson regarding the creation of many modern assault rifle models and their origins in WWII.
- Sniper Duel: The second half of the episode is an extended long range battle between the two bothers and Golgo pitting their high tech assault rifles against his comparatively primitive M16 rifle. Naturally, Golgo manages to come out on top and makes short work of the pair once he figures out their weaknesses.
