User blog comment:Wassboss/Rootin' Tootin' Wild West Shootin': Dutch van der Linde vs "Lucky" Ned Pepper/@comment-36053634-20190226120623

Guitarcar's "HAVE SOME GODAMN FAITH IN MOBILE JACK" plan (edges).

Revolvers:

Now, this is a common argument. In my opinion, both guns are a bit too similliar to create the biggest impact however, like what everyone stated here below me, Dutch has 2. Wielding 2 guns dont do you good but using 1 then replacing it with the 2nd one once it runs out of ammo gives Dutch an obvious edge.

Edge: Dutch

Rifles:

Dutch's longer ranged Evan rifle will take this lead. While it may be less durable, I doubt this fight will last for weeks (Unlike that Simo Hayha fight). Dutch's heavy hitting, accurate and longer ranged rifle beats the yellowboy.

Major Edge: Dutch

Shotguns:

As much as it pains me to turn down my favorite class of shotguns, I have to give Dutch the edge again. His winchester obviously holds more rounds which enables Dutch to make more mistakes than Pepper.

Major Edge: Dutch

Sidearms:

Everyone, Including you Jack sire, must watch this.

Both the Colt and Schofield here are single action which means that you must cock the revolver after shooting.

Im gonna be realistic here ai'ght? The difference is so little here that it wouldnt really affect the outcome of the battle.

Useless Edge: Dutch

X-Factors:

If theres one thing the Khmer Rhouge vs July movement taught me is that the X-Factors are the main edge unless youre heavily overwhelmed. Dutch's experience, leadership and tenacity to fight will have him the greater edge here against Pepper.

Pepper's only edge here is that Dutch is unstable and can make bad decisions sometimes (Remember his plans?) however, Pepper's lack of superior weapons here will stop him from exploiting this problem.

WIPEOUT: DUTCH VAN DER LINDE

Dutch's much better weaponry offers him more accuracy and rounds Ned can ever give out. Dutch's superior experience with his gang and his tenacity also removes the odds Ned could ever win. Dutch is simply the deadliest warrior in this scenario. Better weapons, skills and experience makes this a near but acceptable stomp.

Dutch also has bigger plans. Does this count?
