Elgb's "The Gunfight at Glenrowan Corral" EDGES!!!

Pistols: In just one look, I instantly gave the dge straight to Doc Holliday. Cartridge converted or not, the Colt Navy and the Remington Model 1858 are antique guns. The former is a large fat revolver that is very innacurate with its lack of top strap, while the latter's performance is mediocre at best with its low muzzle velocity and caliber. I also have to disagree with you BattleGames. Theoretically, you can change cylinders like speedloaders with the Remington, but in actuality, there has been no records of anyone actually doing this, due to the fact that spare cylinders were not sold separately as we do today. Ned would have bought an expensive box full of Remingtons just to remove the cylinders and use them speedloaders. The only effective weapon here is the double action Webley, but its small, very innacurate due to its poorly designed sights, lacks range with its puny barrel, and fires very small bullets. The Colt Lightning maybe an fragile weapon, but Holliday greatly took care of his pistol, which he used for almost a decade of his fighting years. The Schofield is the best pistol here. It maybe single-action, but it won't matter due to its top-break capability. All other pistols are purely fixed cylinder revolvers, which took a minute to reload. The moment you empty these guns, you discard them right away. The Smith and Wesson's ability to automatically eject spent casings made reloading faster, easier and more efficent. So Holliday would havekept on firing this pistol, while Ned runs out of pocket guns to fire. Then there's also the fact that Holliday can fire two pistols with ease. EDGE: Doc Holliday

Shotgun: I disagree with you again Battle Games. 10 gauge is almost enough to cut a man completely in half while offering almost the same recoil as a 12 gauge. Another problem with the coach guns is that its got tampered rear sights due to common riggings and sawing offs, making it harder to aim. WHile the Metero 10's configuration is purey fixed and well-designed. EDGE: Doc Holliday

Rifles: Another easy edge for Holliday. The Sharps fired the larger round, bigger muzzle velocity and the longer effective range. The Betty Snider does not compare. Same theories apply for the Winchester vs Spencer. Winchester's got more rounds, fires faster and reloads faster. EDGE: Doc Holliday

Special #1: No way a puny pea-shooter is going to win against a Colt revolving rifle. The latter may have many problems with its design like chain firing and the commong hot gas burnings, but it will do okay in the first 10 uses. Chain firing can also be eradicated by putting bees wax in the cylinder. EDGE: Ned Kelly

Special #2: Kelly's armour is impressive but I think people tended to exaggerate it. Yes it did well to protect Kelly's head and torso, but still it didn't stop him from getting over 23 to 30 dugged in his body (Most of it in the unarmored legs which crippled him). It also made taking cover an impossibility, and that silly shoulder pads prevented Kelly from firing accurately from his shoulders, forcing him to fire from the hip. But still what will a pistol whip do against armor. Probably nothing... EDGE: Ned Kelly

Team Mates: Ah yes. This is an easy edge for Ned Kelly. The Earp Brothers are exaggerated beyond belief. Morgan Earp is an inexperienced and lousy shot. Virgil Earp maybe experienced being a Civil War veteran and lawman, but he was too old and frail for a gunfight (He was the only one of the posse who got zero kills in the OK Corral). The only gunfighter in this battle is Wyatt. He killed roughly the same number of men as Kelly, and he was a great tactician and bloodlust vigilante as well. But he's just one guy against a group of armored bunyips so he won't do that much. EDGE: Ned Kelly

Deadliest Warrior: The Bushrangers: Kelly's Gang!!!

Even though Doc Holliday takes the edge in pistols and rifles. It won't that much against Kelly's armor. Also, Doc Holliday was a lousy shot who was only good at disarming with his bullets than killing, because he was more of a duelist than a team player. He suffered greatly from tuberculosis, making him a second rate gunman. Then, there's also the fact that he had weak teammates, and would rely too much on Wyatt Earp. But even so, they will be surprised and outgunned by these three walking armoured behemoths. Kelly and his gang had more experience in killing and fighting lawmen. And although I facepalm their stupidity during the Battle of Glenrowan, I do applaud them for their brillians in Stringyback Creek (one of their few gunfights ever).

But pit Ned Kelly against Jesse James once again on the other hand...
