Long: Muskets are cool, but they were ultimately replaced by the better rifle designs. Due to the whole being better in accuracy, range, ease of us, power, etc. The Brown Bess is great still, but technology completely outranks it here. Both are going to be basically kill a target upon impact, but with numerous advantages, the Baker wins here. EDGE: Cacadores

Mid: This is a tough one as comes with the whole shotgun vs. pistol debates. The pistol is lighter and has better range, but the blunderbuss has power and fired at a close range better accuracy that will tear someone apart. As Wass said, the design and functions of the blunderbuss make it more prone to misfiring and thus call this even. EDGE: Even

Close: The Rangers have an excellent combination of range, disarming and brutal close quarters weapons here. The sword isn't that special as is the hunting knife with both really being outshined by their counter parts. Really, it comes down to bayonet vs. tomahawk. The bayonet can be deployed onto the rifle and be used as a makeshift spear, while the tomahawk has range. Still, I'm going to call this a close even. EDGE: Even

Deadliest Warrior: Roger's Rangers- In a moderate advantage victory in this match. The Rangers once again pull through due to their superior tactics, better firearm, etc. The Cacadores are much more traditional in the military sense, while the Rangers are going to be employing tactics that directly and immediately hinder those tactics making them much less effective. Traditional tactics of the 19th century are basically asking to be ripped apart in the beginning of matches due to a quicker and more effective means of attack and moving around rather than sticking around in formation.
