User blog comment:Affectos/The Vigilante: Travers Lysander (Affectos) vs. Ellis Jackson (MilitaryBrat)/@comment-5931345-20130906095220

Melee: I have to go with the tomahawk. The knifes may have more range in the throw, but the tomahawk has that long handle and the weight to make the throwing more accurate and devastating (Trust me I've thrown tomahawks and knives before). Its also a better "real" melee weapon when it gets really close. Edge: Jackson

Handguns: I have to go with the Colt. THe Lemat may have 9 bullets and a one shot shotgun, its a more primitive weapon. Being a cap and ball, its bullet is shaped in a sphere, which would lessen its range and accuracy. The colt is fed with metallic cartridges, which is deals more damage, ramnge, and accuracy, while also is far faster to reload than the Lemat. I've shot Lemats before and those things are heavy. The Colt is lighter. Edge: Jackson

Shotguns: 1897. Its a pump action which can has a faster rate of fire, and can be used in prone. Edge: Jackson

Rifles: Though the Henry has more bullet in its tubular mag and longer barrel, its an inferior weapon. Its lever action consists of two pulls of the lever, which lessens the rate of fire. The Winchester's lever action can be used faster with just one pull. It also has the bigger bullet. The Winchester too is faster to reload becasue of its side loading gate as opposed to the Henry's tip of the barrel loading gate. Edge: Jackson

Special: Apache bow. It has the longer range and faster rate of fire. Edge: Jackson

Winner: Sorry Affectos, but Ellis Jackson chose the right and more superior weapons. Though I respect Lysander to be an outstanding marksman, his weapons like the Lemat, Shotgun, and Special would fall hard. Especially the Lemat becasue its a real hassle to reload  a cap and ball revolver, during the Civil War cap and balls weren't even reloaded and officers preffered carrying 2 to 4 with them to prevent loosing a weapon. Lysanders would put a hard fought battle, and he might score a few hits to Jackson, but in the end his weapons would run slowly and run out of bullets, just for Jackson to pull out a win. 4887-4956
