+Melee: Since I don't think horses are in this, and Cortes has armor, I'll give it to the Espada. EDGE-CORTES.

+Rilfe: Enfield is more modern and has rifling which blasts it's range far above the Arquebus. It's also more reliable under diffeerent conditions. EDGE-SHAW.

+Canon: More reliable, and the options for ammo were much better in Shaw's time. Also, less wood. EDGE-SHAW.

+X-Factors: Shaw was trained in the military and fought another military with the same age of weapons. Also, Cortes probably wont take black soldiers seriously. EDGE-SHAW.

OVERALL: Winner-Robbert Shaw. He took the training and the weapons.
