User blog comment:Affectos/The Vigilante: Travers Lysander (Affectos) vs. Ellis Jackson (MilitaryBrat)/@comment-422690-20130914213036

Melee: This is a tie. The low weight but high stabbiness of the throwing knives make them an excellent weapon, especially since the low weight enables you to carry more. The force and slashiness of the Tomahawk, however, pretty much evens it out. Here, it comes down to personal preference. I like knives better, due to the aforementioned light weight and stabbiness, but I'm trying to be objective here. Edge: None.

Handguns: Colt Peacemaker wins. It's got less rounds, but it's also got a better reload, a better muzzle velocity, and a better bullet shape. It's far more powerful than the LeMat. Edge: Jackson.

Shotgun: Even. The only difference is pump-action or lever action, and with both you're vulnerable while you do it. With training, you can be quite fast at both. So... I'm calling this one even.

Rifles: Henry wins. This is due entirely to Travers' familiarity with this weapon; the fact that he probably knows this gun as well as he does himself will offset the technology gap. Edge: Travers.

Special: Tie. Both of these are incredibly useful at different things. The Apache Bow is good to hit someone before they can hit you. The miniature crossbow's good at providing a quick surprise in a firefight. Edge: Even.

Overall: Overall, I think Travers barely gets this. It's almost too close to call, but I think Travers's marksmanship and use of trick shots make up for his tech disadvantage and put him just barely ahead of Jackson.
