Let's see shall we

Close Range

If I remember correctly the Hunting Knife is basically the exact same thing as the Bowie Knife, it's just got a different name so...

Edge: Even

Mid Range

The Colt is just completely outclassed here. It may have the more powerful round but it is a relic of a bygone time and it doesn't have the range, rate of fire nor the reloading efficiency of the C93 and regardless of who is the better gunslingers it's the better option here.

Edge: Dutch's Gang

Long Range

Dutch's Gang would have used the Winchester rifle rather than the Evans but I digress. The Winchester is a tried and true reliable weapon and is certainly less likely to jam than the Evans but the Evans does have those 10 extra rounds which could make all the difference, assuming that it actually works. Reliability aside I'd probably give it to the Evans for it's faster rate of fire and greater magazine size but due to the reliability issues I'm going to call it even.

Edge: Even

Special

While the Dynamite does have a powerful explosion the reason why it wasn't an effective weapon is because it had little to no shrapnel and it's activation was specifically in a way that the person who lit it could get away before it exploded which is a disastrous trait to have in open combat, not to mention that it can be disarmed by simply stamping on the fuse. The Shotgun may have a really short range but it packs a punch and is more reliable as a killing tool.
