Elgb's "Wannabe Robin Hoods" EDGES:

Rifles: The Winchester is no doubt the superior weapon because of its larger magazine and faster rate of fire. It will pin down the bushwhackers before they can fight back. EDGE: Jesse James

Handguns: The Adams seems may be a double action, but I disagree with the Adams having a faster rate of fire. It's a universal knowledge that any double action revolver before the Colt Model 1892 was crap. That includes the Adams and the Colt Lightning. The Adams needed a stronger trigger pull to cycle the next round. Stronger than today's modern double action revolvers. Another reason why I give the two Colt Navy the edge is because Jesse can fire 12 rounds compare to the Adams' inferior 5 round magazine. Two pistols is better than one. EDGE: Jesse James

Close: The bowie knife is superior becasue of the longer and more dangerous blade and the ability to be thrown. EDGE: Jesse James

Special: Gatling gun is an automatic weapon against the Colt revolving rifle which was crap and tend to burn your skin. Nuff Said. EDGE: Jesse James

Deadliest Warrior: Jesse James

Sadly for me Ned Kelly never impressed me that much. Although I respect him to be the real Robin Hood of the two. Ned has only killed an estimate of 4 people in his lifetime.

And that armor that Spartan mentioned, for me, it might be a hindrance than an advantage. Of what I've read the shoulder plates on the Kelly gang's armor prevented the wearer from firing a rifle from the shoulder, which will end up with the Kelly gang firing from the hip and missing some shots. Even though Ned is wearing an armor, Jesse has been known to be an excellent marksman, and I think he can easily pin point his shots to Ned's unarmored parts like the arms, legs and eyes (That was how Ned Kelly fell during the Glenrowan) It also doesn't help that Jesse can draw fast and put some rounds quick, and with high rate of fire weapons like the gatling, winchester and dual colts, he'll get past that armor in no time.

Another thing I'd like to point out is that Jesse James have killed more men than Ned Kelly's 4 murders. He is also trained and fought in an actual war, and by looking in his lifetime Jesse has more years of experience fighting than the young Ned. If you look closely in both of their battle records, it was Jesse who actually used strategy, and Ned on the other hand have no records of him planning some strategy which lead to his capture.
