'''Laq's "A Real Quickdrawer?!" Edges'''

Spontoon Tomahawk vs. Bowie Knife: This is pretty simple; I prefer the tomahawk because of its length and its power. Allison may be renowned as a talented knife fighter, so he has a good shot at winning melee encounters, but that's just him. He's got three other guys with knives who likely aren't skilled enough to win against the superior tomahawk. Edge: Chief Joseph

Indian Short Bow vs. Colt Frontier Six Shooter: The revolver has the stopping power, but its downfall is its minimal range and long reload time. Allison may be quick on the draw, but that doesn't matter when you're fighting somehow who never needs to reload and can comfortably rain arrows down on you from where you can't accurately shoot back. The fact that Joseph has a horse in the fight makes it even better for him since he can easily perform hit-and-run attacks with arrow barrages. Edge: Chief Joseph

Winchester Model 1866 vs. Winchester Model 1873: Allison wins because his rifle has a bigger number. But seriously, this one is hard to decide on. The 1873 hits harder and has better range, but the 1866 can hold two extra rounds. The bullets themselves aren't too different. I can't decide here; the range advantage isn't as useful as it could be because it takes place in a camp, where there's lots of cover, and the capacity and velocity differences are only slight. Edge: Even

X-Factors and Conclusion: Chief Joseph decisively takes the weapon edges, especially at close range, and he goes on to win the entire battle as well. Allison's weapons will overall be of better quality, and he's more experienced than Joseph, but that experience loses its potency when you consider Allison's failing mental health. His loose grip on reality will make him reckless and prone to mistakes, and Joseph's position as a strategist will help him take advantage of that. Allison's men have no special advantage with any of their weapons, and Allison's poor leadership will see them all defeated at the hands of the chief of the Nez Perce. Winner: Chief Joseph!
