User blog comment:Lasifer/Apocalyptic Showdown: Max Rockatansky vs Lone Wanderer/@comment-3195617-20120610012200

I'd go with Dystopic Austrailia fo rtheir match-up. But as for weaponry...

Hunting Knife vs. Baseball Bat: The Knife is designed to kill, sure... but the Bat brings more range, and killing potential, or at least bone breaking potential, which can't be recovered as well as a light slash. Edge: Lone Wanderer

Spear vs. Ripper: The spear is longer, yet primitive, and can break easily, while the Ripper is basically a one-handed chainsaw of death and dismemberment (not to mention, it makes mincemeat out of Max's armor) Edge: Lone Wanderer

Mauser C96 vs. Nambu Type 99: The Nambu is firing a bigger round, but the Mauser beats it in ammo capacity, range, rate of fire, and reliability as well. Easy win for a true classic. Edge: Max Rockantsky

Sawed-Off vs. .44 Magnum: Both of these weapons will easily kill their opponent if they hit, no doubt, as a .44 Magnum has great stopping power, even though a 12 Gauge's is stronger. But... I'm giving my edge to the S&W Model 29 for two reasons... One, it's got triple the ammo capacity. And two, A Sawed-Off Shotgun decreases a shotgun's range even further, and makes the pellets scatter out more. That tight packing a shotgun needs probably won't be there when it needs to be, and I have to give my edge to teh six shooter. Edge: Lone Wanderer

Kar98k vs. Hunting Rifle: Originally, I thought the Hunting Rifle was supposed to be a Kar, however, it's a busted up POS, that fires a lower cartridge, and is less accurate. Edge: Max Rockantsky

M1 Carbine vs. R91 Assualt Rifle: The R91 is full-auto, however, it has six less shots per clip, and is slightly less accurate. However, the 5.56 rounds are bigger than the .30 caliber shots from the M1 Carbine. ALl in all, I'm giving this a draw. Edge: Even

Goose & Dog vs. Butch & Dog Meat: Goose is using a proper shotgun, and a powerful revolver along with a better blade than Butch, and Max's Dog is more intelligent, but also is a more ferocious dog (I actually own a Blue Heeler on my cattle ranch, and they can get rather aggressive when they need to.) Edge: Max Rockantsky

Winner: Max Rockantsky by a nose. While the Lone Wanderer can deal more damage up close, Max has better weapons at a distance, and brought more effective help than a poser "gang banger". Not only that, he had actual training with the Main Force Patrol, and has more experience in the wastes than teh Lone Wanderer. The innovator just can't defeat the originator, as Max wins 535-465.
