Battle of the Rebels

Rifles - While the revolver-type sounds cool, cartridges from the Civil War Era were ball-and-black powder wrapped in greased paper, for the most part. In short, no good, especially since the cartridges of the bolt-action rifle were made of brass, and contained smokeless powder, which makes sniping much more successful. Edge - Emilio Aguinaldo

Revolver Again, we are talking American Civil War versus Turn of the 20th century here - the Schofield to self-contained cartridges, which have a primer on the end. The Navy required percussion caps, which slows things down for reloads. Edge - Emilio Aguinaldo

Knife You might think that bigger is better, in favor of the Bolo knife. However, I have to go with the Bowie Knife - it's simple, solid, and can do the damage. The bolo is flexible, and good for cutting through light wood - good for making trails, but the Bowie is made for killing. Edge - Robert E. Lee

Special A sword versus an improvised nail-gun - I have to go with the saber - it isn't going to blow up in the guy's face. Edge - Robert E. Lee

Deadliest Warrior This is a tough one for me. I have to respect Lee - the guy managed to keep the South going for a long time. That being said, Emilio is bringing more modern weapons. However, I think that Lee will win, in spite of his black powder weapons. If not for a certain incident during the Battle of Gettysburg, there might have been another nation on the North American Continent. Winner Robert E. Lee
