THE DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS OF BRAIN EATERS AND PSYCHOS:


 * Melee- Even. The Machete may have less range, but it has a hell of lot more killing potential than the Baseball Bat does, taking one to the face or stomach is going to hurt, especially from a Machete. That being said, a Baseball Bat to the head hurts a hell of lot, and it does have more range. Evening the field.


 * Revolvers- Even. The Schofield M3 is firing the larger round here, but even then, the superior rate of fire the accuracy the Python has halts Frank from getting the edge here, making it even.


 * Handgun- Even. The Glock 17 is firing a small 9mm round compared to the great .45 ACP round Frank is packing with his M1911, but the large 17 round box magazine the Glock is packing evens the playing field.


 * Shotgun- Even. Both guns pack the same stats. Even.


 * Assault Rifle- Even. Again, like the shotgun, both essentially have the same stats.


 * Sniper Rifle- Even. Yet again, suffers the same stat fate.

THE DEADLIEST ZOMBIE HUNTER - FRANK WEST! This may just be the first time I've had all even edges, but in the end what matters are the warriors using them, and Frank just takes this. Frank has been fighting off the zombie horde for years, even with his own bare hands and wicked wrasslin' moves.

He's a very skilled and creative combatant at range and in close quarters, and has experience fighting psychopaths like Rick (Even a Psychopath that juggle chainsaws and breathes fire). Frank has also taken down a brutal Special Forces squad leader, a terrorist, a squad of snipers, a vietnam veteran, convicts, a cannibal, and a bunch of wacked-out cultists.

Another thing Frank has over Grimes is his mental health, he doesn't suffer hallucinations and is healthy mentally and physically. Overall, Frank has all the advantages needed to take down the crazed Police Officer, Experience, Health, and Creativity have it in the bag for West.

Also- Did you know he covered wars?
