Who said that marine fighting beno 1 vs 1 shouldn't be a fair fight? Generally it is supposed that benos should beat marine 1 vs 1 if both of them have equal skill. That should not be in a way that any bald beno should beat robust marine 1 vs 1. "Fair chance" doesn't mean "equal chance".
Yeah, marines have attachements on weapons, but the game is balanced around those attachements. There is a reason why recent test against Ravager was conducted with M39 equipped with Barrel Charger. Attachements are generally about fitting a gun to certain role, not stright up buffs as most of the attachements have some downsides of having them. Yes, marines have grenades, but did you know that grenades cause more marine harm, than beno? Any grenade used by PFC has higher chance to scratch a beno and severly damage atleast one marine, than to wound only beno.
Ammo that slows on impact would be the slug, that is RNG innacurate, that is RNG countered by evasion, deals very little damage, that has RNG scatter, that has rather low rate of fire, that presents great danger to any marine hit by it, that does NOTHING to T3s and certain T2s (Hivelord and Carrier).
Down time from one tap of shotgun is long that you have time to attach bayonet? Boy, did you got dillusional, you won't have time to PB second time, not talking about doing anything else as the downtime is less than a second.
In every way PFC outclasses T3 for example? Or T2? Spamming lunge is not a good tactic as each spam creates short cooldown on abilty and its made exactly to prevent bald benos from spamming abilities like lunge that actually "teleports" beno to the marine only if clicked directly on said marine sprite.
The fact that you "forgot" that defender exist, put Carrier in T3 slot for some reason, present "counter-arguments" by simply stating some fact (like that DEFCON gives marines reinforcements, but so what? Nothing explained) and also present false information about shotgun stuns, I leave for others to judge.
