Elgb's "Gunslingers" EDGES!!!

Melee: I'm gonna give the edge straight to Jonah Hex. Roland Deschain is a capable hand to hand combatant but he seldomly fights in melee combat. Although he can handle himself pretty well in a fistfight with mutants, werewolfs and other gunmen (his first ever fight as a gunslinger was in fisticuffs with his mentor... which was ironic since he's supposed to be trained as a "gun"-slinger), he's main forte is in pistols. Jonah Hex is a whole 'nother league than Roland; he's able to beat up a whole bar of cowboys by himself, roving bands of Indians, soldiers and even superpowered beings such as Mr. Hyde and futuristic cyborgs. Hell, one time when the timeline of the DC Universe was warped,  he even manage to defeat Batman too in hand to hand combat. And when he was transported in the future, he again defeated another different but futuristic Batman. EDGE: Jonah Hex

Main: While the .45 caliber Colt Peacemaker does have the larger bullet (caliber-wise) and has that nifty top strap, making it more accurate to aim, the Colt Dragoon is still the more powerful pistol due to its monstrous stopping power. The Colt Dragoon (which was the safer version of the legendary Colt Walker) was basically the magnum pistol of its time. Its powerful but doesn't sacrifice accuracy and lethality, and the best part of is that its got 3 times the range of the Colt Peacemaker (which is only 25 yards at most). Even with its disadvantages (such as the lack of top strap and power), Jonah Hex can still draw and aim this pistol at almost superhuman skill like its nothing. The Sandalwood Guns were supposed to be "magically-imbued" but the only thing I saw it do something supernatural is when it broke an enemy's wrist when he fired it. Besides that, there is nothing really special about them besides other Colt Peacemakers lying around. EDGE: Jonah Hex

Special: Roland rarely uses his psionic powers, like the time he hypnotized someone (but I'm not really impressed since he did during his travels, not during combat). Jonah Hex on the other hand, uses his rifle just as much as his pistols, and he's just as fast and as accurate with it too. EDGE: Jonah Hex

Deadliest Warrior?

Sorry Dark Tower fans but I'm giving the edge to the "Batman of the Old West", Jonah Hex. What sets Roland apart from any other Old West gunslinger is that he fights magical monsters and his almost infallable marksmanship (one of the best in fiction). He can shoot so fast that it seems like he's using a machine gun, and his feat of shooting those Flying Sneetches, which is so small and can fly in almsot supersonic speeds, shows his lethality as a marksman.

While Jonah Hex doesn't have the same marksmanship, he is smarter, more resourceful, and most of all, has better weapons. Roland fights mostly monsters and inhumans but Jonah Hex has fought against other marksmen before (like Wild Bill Hickok and even Batman), far more so than Roland. And while they don't have the same marksmanship as the gunslinger, Jonah still has more experience dealing with superhuman marksman before so he'll know how to tangle with the Roland (not to mention that like Roland, Jonah Hex too has fought supernatural monsters and wizards). Besides, whether you look at it, from close range to long range, Jonah Hes seems to have the edge. Sorry Roland, but you're journey to the Dark Tower will be cancelled after you meet this scarred bounty hunter.
