LSP95's finger lickin' good (but not boneless) EDGES!!!!

Short Range) EDGE- Spanish Short Sword. The short sword has a greater range than the common circa 1776 American knife. Not to mention the Short sword was designed for combat while the knife would have been meant only for hunting/cooking/and if you were Native American, scalping.

Mid Range) EDGE- Cutlass. The Lance may have better range, but the Cutlass has a larger blade that can be used as a slashing and stabbing weapon.

Firearms) EDGE- Long Land Pattern Brown Bess Musket. This is simple-More modern Technology typically = a better weapon. Flintlock is better than Matchlock. Plus the 18mm musket ball of the Brown Bess will peirce de Almagro's armor no problem. *Please note neither weapons are very accurate.

Artillery) EDGE- Falconet. The Falconet was intended to be an anti-personel artillery peice, and while Seige cannons are nice because of the massive size of their bore, they are mainly used for knocking down walls of structures and such.

X-Factors) EDGE- Paul Revere. In my opinion, the desire for freedom is always better than sheer greed, and based on this beleif, I say Revere has the ability to out fight de Almagro.

My Vote goes to Paul Revere.
