119's "Dead Eye" Edges:


 * Revolvers: The Webley Mk IV fires a larger .455 caliber round, meaning more stopping power than the .38 caliber Colt M1892. Edge: Harrow


 * Semi-Autos: The two weapons are both small .380 ACP semi-automatic pistols, but the smaller size means the Remington is more concealable, but the FN Browning is likely to be a bit more accurate thanks to its longer barrel, giving it a Narrow Edge: Marston.


 * Shotguns: The Auto-5 is a semi-automatic weapon, the M1897 is a pump action. The Auto-5 has a faster rate of fire thanks to its action, giving it the edge. Edge: Harrow.


 * Rifles: The M1917 has a larger range thanks to its scope, allowing for accurate shots at a greater distance, and it also has a six-shot magazine, edging out the Krag's five. Edge: Harrow.


 * Melee: The trench knife is a nasty weapon, but I give the edge to the Tomahawk's longer handle and ability to be thrown, meaning John can strike from further way. Edge: John Marston.


 * X-Factors: Harrow is a military veteran, with actual US Army training, taking an edge over Marston, albeit a narrow one because of Marston's combat experience. Harrow is also a better shot in spite of his missing eye, and also score higher than Marston in discipline. The only thing Marston beats him on is physical strength, an important X-factor to be sure, but not as much in a sniper duel- which this match is likely to come down to- as it would be in a close-in fight.


 * Overall Winner: It will be a tough fight, but in the end, Richard Harrow will come the winner thanks to the superior firepower of his rifle and shotgun, as well as his greater training and marksmanship skill.
