Okay lets have a go!

1. Primary weapons

The Chainsaw will be an interesting choice to go against the nailbat: while the former lacks the power of the latter, the chainsaw can cut through wood, the bat's primary material. However the nails will prove difficult to cut into, and they could snap the saw on the weapon. Plus it will be difficult to block a full swing from a nailbat with a chainsaw, and the nails could also cause the saw itslf some trouble if Frank West gets a nail underneath the chain and then pulls to the left or right. So I will give it the edge.

The Broadsword is a far better weapon than the fire axe: the former is designed for war, the latter for firemen's use. The Fire axe handle is made of wood, while the vast majority of the broadsword is a long metallic blade, steel. Though the axe has more weight and power in its blows, it only takes a quick slice to cut through its handle, rendering the axe a tad shorter. Edge goes to Ash

The gauntlet hand as seen in the film "Army of Darkness" is not only a prosthetic made of a gauntlet, it has superhuman strength, capable of crushing metal medieval cups with no problem. However, it takes a little while to put on, and it is used on the same arm as the chainsaw: to use both, you would have to not have the saw attatched to his hand but be held in both hand and gauntlet hand for combat, which is a pretty formidable combo. However, the machete gets the edge for range and lethality

EDGE: Frank West

2. Secondary melee weapons

Spear, torch, and double headed medieval battle axe vs a sledge hammer, a small hand held sickle, and a concrete saw. Very interesting mix

I give the spear the advantage over the hammer, due to the fact that it is a far lighter weapon with better range: while someone tries an overhead strike or a battering ram attack on your torso, you can simply dodge and stab with your spear. Edge Ash

The Torch is a very good weapon that can be used to light other flammable things around you, causing more chaos. Yet the sickle can take a torch away from you with one slice, and also your hand if aimed right. West gets this edge.

Concrete saw is pretty interesting, but it pals next to a huge dark age battle axe. Sure, West can utilize other small things in this fight, but Ash is smart enough to do this also (using a batch of ultra hot water to try and flush out a tiny clone of himself in his gut. Didn't work, but he did show he can do what West can). The Axe trumps the concrete saw, and they are dead even in utilizing anything and everything they can get to to fight the good fight.

EDGE: Ash

3. Guns and explosives

West gets a commanding lead here: his shotgun is more modern and advanced (and I would dare say packs a meaner punch), the Uzi is smaller than the winchester, lighter, and fully automatic, and I think it has more range than the winchester. The molotov cocktail will erupt immediately upon impact with your target, while the dynamite has to burn its fuse for a few seconds before it explodes. Though it does make for a good booby trap mine, the molotov can be utilized quickly and efficiently

Edge: Frank West

4. X-Factors

West does not have the experience Ash has: Though he beats the deadite slayer in mental health (Ash can go very nuts when fighting the damned), West, based on what is written here, has no experience with zombies that are intelligent and pure evil like the wicked deadites, nor has he fought large meaty behemoth monsters like Ash did in the second film. Ash has dealt with demons that move fast and must look like vapors or a killer fog heading towards him, and has even survived a near demonic possession. The zombies he fought could be armed and could utilize weaponry well, as they were sentient and at times warriors before they lost their lives. Heck Ash has even encountered flying Deadites, as well as evil replicas of the Necronomicon (one that tried to suck him down into a terrible vortex, another that had needle teeth that bit him and could fly), and so on. West does not have the experience, or indeed the skill in combat as seen in Ash. When he fights the female Deadite in S-Mart at the end of Army of Darkness, he utilizs his winchester against the demon broad with an almost supernatural speed and skill. His physicality will be superior to West, his will to survive will exceed West's, and his superior intelligence (Ash had science books with him tha he used to help make gunpowder in the film), so Ash is a big winner

EDGE: ASH

Though West has some superior firepower, explosives, and some superior melee weapons, he fails against Ash's superior skill, intelligence, and experience

ASH WILL MAKE FRANK WEST HAIL TO THE KING, BABY!
