Mosby's Rangers vs. Sepoys Edges

Long:The Burnside Carbine has the lighter weight and superior muzzle velocity but the Pattern 1853 Enfield has the better range. Factor in the bayonet and this is too close to call. Edge:Tie

Short:The Adams Revolver has the more powerful cartridge and better muzzle velocity but it is bested by the Colt Model 1860's lighter weight, superior range, and greater capacity. Not to mention the superior number of revolvers the Rangers have. Edge:Mosby's Rangers

Personal:The Arkansas Toothpick is longer when used without a rifle. However, the bayonet is the only one usually mounted to a rifle and is already out for a melee fight immediately. Edge:Sepoys

X-Factor:The Sepoys have discipline but it doesn't help that much in a fight if your opponent has the better strategy. Mosby's Rangers surprise attack can decimate the Sepoys before they can react. Edge:Mosby's Rangers

Winner:This seems like a clear win for Mosby's Rangers due to their advantages but they are severely outnumbered. While Mosby's Rangers will hold the initial advantage with the first strike and their massive arsenal, the Sepoys will eventually take the edge with their Enfields with bayonets. As the battle goes on, the Rangers will be overwhelmed by the Sepoys discipline and superior numbers.
