Jackythejack’s “I’m typing this on mobile may god have mercy on my soul” edges.

The Revolvers: Two guns aren’t better than one, that’s what a situation like this would generally need. Two guns mean twice the ammo, and though reload times are gonna be slow, so that’s problematic. As mentioned before the muzzle velocity is useful, however I feel like having more bullets, and likely being more accurate, means that Dutch takes this category.

The Rifles: This is simple enough. Longer range and bigger magazine offset the problems of being less durable, especially in a quick gunfight like what’s bound to happen here. Being inaccurate is more of an issue than being less durable in a fight like this, so Dutch takes this category as well.

The Boomsticks: What can be said here? More range and more bullets, that’s what. That’s what’s going to win it for Dutch in this category and nothing much can be said otherwise about it. It just can’t compete with Dutch’s ranged advantage and his bigger magazine.

The Sidearms: This one is a bit easy to give to Dutch if that weapon is actually just single shot and not what Tybalt said, but I’m gonna play it safe here and assume it’s not. They’re practically the same either way, the only difference being muzzle velocity, and that small edge should go to Dutch because of that, but I don’t think that means much,

X-Factors: Due to lack of evidence Dutch takes it in experience because we don’t know all that Ned has been through, but I imagine it’s not that big a difference, all things considered. Dutch takes leadership as well because of al the times he rallied up groups, it seems. (I don’t know RDR2 so correct me if I’m wrong) Obviously Ned is better mentally I don’t think I need to say much about that. He just doesn’t have a screw loose. Brutality also goes to Dutch which I’m sure is also helped due to his mental instability.

Overall, the winner is Dutch but it does seem to be pretty close. In the end I think his convoluted scheming will be what almost costs him his life. Though at the same time this battle is going to go by quickly enough to where plans just don’t matter and all it takes is one simple shot to end it. Dutch is a better leader as well so they’re more likely to follow him into the fight and not run away, so...yeah. Sorry if this isn’t the best like I said I’m on mobile and if you aren’t satisfied please tell me and I’ll improve it, but the winner is Dutch
