=Far Cry 3 Co-Op Cast vs State of Decay: Breakdown Heroes= =Far Cry 3 Co-Op=

Leonard
Leonard is a playable co-op character in Far Cry 3. He is a crooked Irish-American ex-cop from Philadelphia. According the survival guide, the police database shows that Leonard grew up as a city boy in Philadelphia and followed in his father’s steps as a police officer. As he climbed the ranks, his ethics dimmed, leading to a forced departure from the department. Notorious for vulgar humor, in battle he’s at the top of the food chain." (Modified from Far Cry Wiki)

Tisha
She was once served in the United States Marine Corps as a combat medic. However, after killing a man who attempted to rape a girl she went on the run. She is on the boat for this reason, running from justice and possibly drawn to the Rook Islands for their remote and lawless nature.

Callum
Callum is a playable co-op character in Far Cry 3. Serving as a possible leader of his group Callum is a petty criminal and chef born in Scotland. It is unknown if he is the real leader of his group but he seems to have taken the position.

Callum can also be identified as a fan of the Scottish football club Rangers. This is evidenced by the fact that when his 'football fan' costume is chosen, his t-shirt is an almost exact replica of Rangers' 2011–2012 home shirt, only missing the shirt manufacturer and shirt sponsor, and with a changed crest, similar to Frank Bilder's GAA jacket from Far Cry 2.

Growing up in the projects of Glasgow, Callum developed an early attachment to knives. At six, he won his first knife fight. At 12, he was already leading a street gang of his own. He spent part of his teenage years working as a chefs' apprentice in Wales.

After years of dodging serious trouble, Callum's ruthless spirit finally took its toll. He picked a fight with the wrong man, snapped and incidentally beat him to a pulp. Hunted by police and gang members, he fled Scotland and found a job on the SS Astrid.

Callum has a cynical, black-humoured point of view, but becomes aggressive, ruthless and, at times, psychotic when provoked.

Mikhail
ikhail is a playable co-op character in Far Cry 3. He is a Russian hitman.

As a street orphan, Mikhail’s youth was marked with abuse and abandonment. It was not until his teenage years that he found his path and fell in with an elite league of criminals, known for its strict code of conduct that extolled honour and resistance against authority. After two stints in jail and years of devotion, he was crowned a leader of his gang and became the right-hand man to his mentor. But when he fell in love and eloped, breaking his league’s code, he was forced to flee and put his wife, Katya, and newborn daughter into hiding. Now he is working aboard the SS Astrid to earn what money he can to start a new life outside Russia. Always one step ahead, he is calm and collected in battle. His mercy extends to no one.

=Walter White (Breaking Bad) vs Miyo Takano (Higurashi)= Walter White, thehigh school chemistry teacher who dove into the Albuquerque underworld to provide money for his family after he was diagnosed with lung cancer

VS

Miyo Takano, the mad scientist determine to prove her father's theories about the Hinamizawa Syndrome correct... event if it meant massacring an entire village

=Combatants=

Walter White
Walter "Walt" Hartwell White, also known as "Heisenberg", is a chemist, a former teacher, and recently, a producer of illicit methamphetamine. After being diagnosed with an inoperable lung cancer, Walt decided to provide money for his family after his impending death by producing crystal methamphetamine. He partnered up with his former student, Jesse Pinkman (also a meth "cook") as manufacturing and dealing duo.

Soon after his 50th birthday, Walt passed out while working at the car wash. He was then reluctantly rushed to the hospital via ambulance where he was eventually diagnosed with stage-three terminal lung cancer and given less than two years left to live. This grim prognosis causes a dramatic change in Walt's usual mild-mannered demeanor, and he decides he must take extreme measures to provide for his family's long-term financial security. After being invited by his DEA agent brother-in-law, Hank, to accompany him on a live raid on a methamphetamine lab, Walt has a circumstantial encounter with one of his former students, Jesse Pinkman, whom he finds out is a meth dealer and manufacturer, also referred to as cook, who goes by the name "Captain Cook". With this information, Walt blackmails Jesse into helping him also enter the illegal drug trade on the production side, using his chemistry knowledge to cook remarkably potent and chemically pure "crystal" meth with Jesse to help him distribute it.

Miyo Takano
Miyo Takano was an orphan adopted by a Japanese scientist who was working on a virus local to the village of Hinamizawa. Miyo's father was criticized for his work, which stated that the Hinamizawa Syndrome's effects, namely violent behavior could be triggered by the death of a "queen carrier". After her father died, Takano continued his work, determined to prove him correct. Takano planned to do this by killing the "queen carrier" and causing the entire village to go insane.

In order to gain access to the village, Takano joined a conspiracy of politician born before the Second World War, who intended to weaponize the Hinamizawa Syndrome and use it to restore Japan's position as a major military power. Takano was given control of a force of troops, the Yamainu, who she used to eliminate any threats to her plans, thought Takano herself was quite willing to commit murder and did so on a number of occasions.

Takano lived in the village of Hinamizawa while preparing her plans, posing as a nurse in a local clinic. In addition to proving her father right, Takano also believes that by killing off the village of Hinamizawa in a mysterious accident believed to be the result the curse of Oyashiro, a local god, Takano will herself become a god, at least in metaphorical sense.

Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni covers multiple parallel universes. In most of them, Takano succeeds in killing the "queen carrier", a girl named Rika Furude, plunging the village into madness, and then killing off the inhabitants with poison gas. However, in the final arc of Higurashi, Takano is defeated by the combined efforts of Furude and her friends Keiichi Maebara, Rena Ryuguu, Mion and Shion Sonozaki, Satoko Houjou, and several others.

=Weapons=

Claw Hammer (Walter)
A claw hammer is a tool primarily used for pounding nails into, or extracting nails from, some other object. Generally, a claw hammer is associated with woodworking but is not limited to use with wood products. It is not suitable for heavy hammering on metal surfaces (such as in machining work), as the steel of its head is somewhat brittle; the ball-peen hammer is more suitable for such metalwork.

A claw hammer can be said to look roughly like the letter "T" with the handle being the long part, and the head being the line across the top which looks like a "t". In actuality, the head of the hammer does not form a straight line, but curves down into the claw of the hammer. One side of the head is flat with either a smooth or textured surface and is used for impacting another surface. The other side of the head curves down and splits in the middle forming a "V" shape. This part is the claw of the hammer and is most commonly used for extracting nails from wood. The rounded end of the claw, in conjunction with the handle, is used to gain leverage when extracting a nail. It's a common improvised weapon and legal due to it's popularity in the construction industry.

Nightstick (Miyo)
The nightstick, also known as a truncheon of baton, is a type of typically wooden club used by police as a close-combat and riot control weapon designed to be used non-lethally- police training dictates to aim for the arms or legs, particularly the common peroneal nerve above the knee. However, the nightstick is easily capable of causing unconsciousness or even fatal injury with a blow to the head. For the purposes of this match, Takano's baton will be a side-handle or "tonfa" baton, with a secondary handle on the side, allowing for a greater variety of fighting techniques to be used than with a straight baton.

119's Edge
Takano's Nightstick, as it is actually designed for use in close combat.

Kitchen Knife (Walter)
The term "kitchen knife" or "chef's knife" typically refers to a knife with a triangular point, typically made of stainless steel, although versions made of titanium and high-strength ceramics also exist. The knife is obviously not designed as a weapon, but due to its ubiquity, kitchen knives may often be used as a murder weapon, both in real life and in fiction.

Scalpel (Miyo)
A scalpel is a type of knife used in surgery and dissection, with a small, but extremely sharp blade on the end of a short handle. Both of these tools can be dangerous when used as weapons, however they have very little reach.

119's Edge
Walt's Kitchen Knife for its longer blade.

Smith and Wesson 4506 (Walt)
The Smith and Wesson 4506 is a semi-automatic handgun manufactured from 1988 to 1999 by Smith and Wesson. The weapon is made of stainless steel, and is thus resistant to harsh conditions. The pistol is similar in appearance to an M1911 in some respects and, like the 1911, is chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge, however, it can also fire the more powerful .45 Super cartridge if a specialized spring is attached. For the purposes of this match, Walt's S&W will be assumed to have this spring. The weapon has an eight-round magazine, and will be assumed for the purposes of this match to have a similar range to the M1911.

Colt M1911 (Miyo)
The M1911 is a semi-automatic pistol that fires the .45 ACP. The weapon is single-action and is recoil-operated. The famous firearms designer produced the pistol to be used as the standard sidearm for the United States military. The weapon was used through countless conflicts like World War II and the Vietnam War. Production for the weapon came through the United States' need to modernize its arsenal. It is still being used by American law-enforcement and military forces in limited amounts. The weapon is a .45 caliber handgun with a seven-round magazine.

119's Edge
Walt's Smith and Wesson 4506 takes a slight edge for its slightly larger magazine capacity, greater reliability, and ability to fire the more powerful .45 Super round. The M1911 is a good gun, but the 4506 is, in essence, an improved 1911.

Smith and Wesson 945 (Walt)
The Smith & Wesson 945 is a single-action, .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol from Smith & Wesson. It incorporates features from the M1911 pistol series, such as a SA-only trigger, a grip safety, and a frame-mounted thumb safety, and is the predecessor to the Smith & Wesson 4500 pistol series. The 945 can be distinguished from a M1911 by the unique contours on the slide and by the internal safety mechanism inside the slide, which is externally visible as a black circle where the S&W 4506's safety switch would be located. None of the parts nor the magazines from M1911s are compatible with the 945. (From IMFDB) The weapon has an eight-round magazine.

Smith and Wesson Model 39 (Miyo)
The Smith and Wesson Model 39 is a small 9mm semi-automatic handgun also known as the "Hush Puppy" for its use against guard dogs by US special forces in the Vietnam War. The weapon has an eight round magazine and, for the purpose of this match, will feature a suppressor.

119's Edge
Miyo's Smith and Wesson Model 39 for its suppressor. This will give it an advantage of stealth that, in my opinion, outweighs the larger caliber of the 945, especially considering the 945 is very similar to Walt's other semi-auto, meaning he has a less balenced loadout- two loud .45 pistols for Walt vs a .45 for stopping power and a smaller, but silent handgun in the case of Miyo.

Ruger LCR (Walt)
The Ruger LCR, or Lightweight Compact Revolver, is a small revolver, for the purposes of this match, chambered in .38 Special manufactured by Ruger. The weapon is made mostly from aluminum and polymers, contributing to its light weight, and has a modified double action with a friction reducing cam, designed to give the weapon a very light trigger pull. The weapon has a five-round cylinder and a short barrel, meaning it is useful only at very close ranges.

Tokarev TT-33 (Miyo)
The Tokarev TT-33 was a Soviet-designed 7.62 x 25mm semi-automatic handgun designed in 1930 as a replacement for the old M1895 Nagant revolver. The weapon saw service in the Second World War with the Red Army and by various other factions afterwards. The weapon is still in used by various factions around the world even though it was replaced by the Makarov in Soviet service starting in 1952. The weapon has an eight-round magazine and a range of 50 meters.

119's Edge
Miyo's Tokarev TT33 takes this for its greater rate of fire with its semi-automatic action, as well as its longer range.

Ruger KGP-161 (Walt)
The Ruger KGP-161 is a double-action revolver manufactured by Ruger. The weapon will, for the purposes of this match, be chambered for .357 magnum. The weapon has a six-round cylinder and an effective range of between 50 and 100 meters.

MP5SD (Miyo)
The Heckler and Koch MP5 is a submachine gun chambered for the 9mm round. Since the 1960s, the weapon has been popular around the world and is currently a popular weapon used by law-enforcement agencies, special forces groups, and terrorists. Through the success of the G3 battle rifle, the MP5 war created and the design of the submachine gun was based upon the rifle. The weapon was immediately was adopted by several countries several years after it was manufactured. The rate of fire, accuracy, and light-weight of the gun was what made it successful. Their are currently 22 variants of the MP5, the two most popular being the MP5A4 and the MP5K.

The MP5SD is a version equipped with an integral suppressor. The weapon fires 9mm ammunition from a 30-round magazine at 700 rounds per minute with a range of about 100 meters.

119's Edge
This one is obvious- Miyo's MP5SD is a submachine gun, with a much higher rate of fire, capacity, and longer range than Walt's KGP-161, and comes with a suppressor built in to boot. The only category the MP5 loses out in is stopping power, which is kind of a moot point if you can put two or three rounds in a target in the time they get off one.

M4A1 Carbine (Walt)
The M4 Carbine is a series of 5.56mm firearms based upon the design of the M16 rifle. It was designed to be a light version of the M16A2 with selective fire options. Created in the United States, the M4 was in service since 1997. The weapon is gas-operated, cooled by air, and has a telescoping stock. The carbine was created, like most carbines, to function like a rifle but have a lighter weight and greater portability. The M4 is slightly less accurate and has less stopping power. The carbine will later shift into the standard firearm for the American armed forces. 35 nations have the M4 as part of their arsenal and is widely used by both their armies and special forces. The weapon has 30-round magazine, with an effective range of about 500 meters and rate of fire of 750-900 rounds per minute.

Howa Type 64 (Miyo)
The Howa Type 64 (64式自動小銃 Rokujuu-yon-shiki-jidou-shoujuu?), is a Japanese 7.62mm battle rifle used exclusively by the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the Japanese Coast Guard replacing the M1 Garand but later replaced by the Howa Type 89. The Howa has a rate of fire of 500 rounds per minute and a range of 400 meters. The weapon uses a 20-round magazine.

119's Edge
Miyo's Howa fires a larger round, however Walt's M4 takes this one, as it has a longer range and larger magazine.

M60 Machine Gun (Walt)
The M60 machine gun is a belt-fed light machine gun introduced to the U.S. military in the late 1950's. It saw extensive use in the Vietnam War as a squad-support weapon. It fires the damaging 7.62x51mm NATO round at a rate of fire of 500-650 rounds per minute, although it does face jamming issues because it is belt-fed. The weapon has a range of up to 1200 meters and fires from a disintegrating metal link belt, typically 100 or 200 rounds, but belts may be linked together into one longer belt. For the purposes of this match, Walt's M60 will have a 100-round belt.

RPG-7 (Miyo)
The RPG-7 is a Soviet-made 85mm anti-tank rocket launcher. The weapon was first delivered to the Soviet Army in 1961 and, like the AK-47 has since been widely exported during the Cold War era, and is still in the arsenal of many countries and paramilitary organization. The weapon is known for low cost, ease of use, durability and reliability. To some, it's the very symbol of guerrilla warfare. The weapon has a maximum range of over 900 meters, but an effective range of only about 200 meters.

119's Edge
The M60, in spite of its jamming issues, is actually designed primarily for use against personnel, unlike the predominately anti-tank or anti-structure RPG. Edge: Walter White's M60 machine gun

Phosgene Gas (Walt)
Phosgene is the chemical compound with the formula COCl2. This colorless gas gained infamy as a chemical weapon during World War I. It is also a valued industrial reagent and building block in synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. In low concentrations, its odor resembles freshly cut hay or grass. In addition to its industrial production, small amounts occur naturally from the breakdown and the combustion of organochlorine compounds, such as those used in refrigeration systems. The chemical was named by combining the Greek words 'phos' (meaning light) and genesis (birth); it does not mean it contains any phosphorus (cf. phosphine).

Phosgene is an insidious poison as the odor may not be noticed and symptoms may be slow to appear.[18] The odor detection threshold for phosgene is 0.4 ppm, four times the threshold limit value. Its high toxicity arises from the action of the phosgene on the proteins in the pulmonary alveoli, the site of gas exchange: their damage disrupts the blood-air barrier, causing suffocation. It reacts with the amines of the proteins, causing crosslinking by formation of urea-like linkages, in accord with the reactions discussed above. Phosgene detection badges are worn by those at risk of exposure.

(From Wikipedia)

Walter White uses his chemistry knowledge to create phosgene gas in his mobile meth lab in order to eliminate two hostile gangsters early in the series. For the purposes of this match, he will have an improvised phosgene gas device similar in use to Miyo's gas grenades.

Hydrogen Sulfide (Miyo)
Hydrogen Sulfide is a gas containing hydrogen and sulfur (obviously) and is known for its rotten egg-like odor. In concentrations of over 1000 parts per million, the gas can kill quickly, and as little as 50 ppm can cause eye damage, with death becoming possible at 320 ppm. The gas was chosen by Takano as it is also sometimes released in volcanic events, for plausible deniability of her atrocities in Hinamizawa.

119's Edge
Miyo's hydrogen sulfide is more portable, but Walt's phosgene is much deadlier. However, both Miyo and Walt will have access to gasmasks. Given these factors, I call this Even.

Mercury Fulminate (Walt)
Mercury fulminate is highly shock-sensitive explosive formerly used in firearm primers. Walt uses a piece of mercury fulminate as a sort of improvised flashbang, with enough force to blast out the windows of a building. However, Walt and at least some of the other people in building survive, suggesting it was used as more of a flashbang than a lethal weapon.

Hinamizawa Syndrome (Miyo)
The syringe is more or less an improvised weapon but in this battle, the syringe that Miyo will use is filled with the Hinamizawa virus (in fact, she may have more than one). Weapon-wise, the hypodermic needle part of the syringe has a thickness that ranges between 7 and 33 gauge (ie between 4mm and 0.21mm). For the purposes of this battle, the syringe will have a needle of 16 gauge (the minimum length required for blood transfusion or injection).

=X-Factors=

Explanations
While Miyo Takano has more training, it is probably not anywhere near military levels, probably only some basic firearms training. Walt, however, takes combat experience, having taken on Albuquerque's most dangerous drug lords, while Takano mostly massacred unarmed villagers. Both of them are highly intelligent, however, I give a slight edge to Walt for his ability to think outside the box and use his knowledge of chemistry, at times to deadly effect. Takano takes physical strength, as, while Walt is probably physically larger than Miyo, he is in poor health because of his lung cancer, which results in coughing fits and occasionally collapsing. Walt, however, takes mental health, as he is generally mentally competent, if stressed. Takano, on the other hand is highly mentally ill. =Scenerio= Walt will be cooking meth in the middle of nowhere, when Takano, who has been fleeing the police after a botched attempt to unleash the Hinamizawa Syndrome in the US, drives by. Walt has seen her face on the news, and knows that she is wanted for 1 million dollars, dead or alive, all the money he needs to leave something for his family and then some. The match will take place in one of the following three locations:

Sandia Mountains
Walt's RV will be located in a clearing along an old forest road in the Sandia Mountains just east of Albuquerque. The area surrounded by pine forests on the side of a mountain.

Mesalands
The RV will be parked on a dirt road running through an area of sandstone mesas, vegetation includes cacti, sagebrush and scattered juniper and pinyon pine trees.

Ghost Town
RV will be parked in the center of an abandoned town surrounded by mesas and canyons. The town will have the look of a typical old west ghost town with wooden buildings and an old mine in the hills above. Surrounding vegetation similar to mesalands.

=Royal Rumble! Henry VIII vs Sultan Murad IV= Henry VIII, the Tudor monarch well known for his six wives... and for carrying a pistol-mace-spear combination weapon.

VS

Sultan Murad IV, the violent Ottoman sultan known for carrying a massive mace and two-handed sword both said to weigh over 100 pounds.

WHO IS DEADLIEST?! =Combatants=

Murad IV
=Leader's Weapons=

"Henry's Walking Staff"
Henry VIII's carried a combination mace-spear-pistol, which he sometimes used as a walking stick, thus it's nickname "Henry's Walking Staff". The weapon had three matchlock pistol barrels in the head (I could not find whether they could be fired individually or all at once, but for the purposes of this match, it will be able to do both). The weapon also had a head covered in armor piercing spikes, for use like a mace, and a spike on the top, for use as a spear. The weapon had a handle that appears to be about 5-6 feet long.

Giant Mace (Murad)
Murad IV carried a large mace said to weigh 60 kilograms (132 pounds) and that no one was able to lift it apart from Murad himself. While I tend to be skeptical of these numbers, Ottoman maces, particularly ceremonial maces, tend to be quite heavy. In general, Ottoman maces either flanged or had a round head without spikes.

119's Edge
Both weapons are heavy and unwieldy, but Murad's seems more so, in spite of the Sultan's supposed strength. Also, Henry's mace has three guns attached, giving it a definite range advantage.

Two-Handed Sword (Henry)
Henry VIII also has a large, two-handed sword about five feet long. The weapon is typical of blades of two-handed swords of the era, being intended to chop through the shafts of polearms for use against formations of pikemen, or else for slashing off a horse's legs, before finishing off the rider when used against cavalry.

Hundred-Pound Sword (Murad)
Sultan Murad IV owned a large longsword said to weight over 100 pounds. I was unable to find many details on the weapon, but I did find an image of several large European-style two-handed swords displayed at the Tokapi palace in Istanbul. It is likely that Murad's longsword was similar to one of these blades.

119's Edge
Both weapons are large two-handed swords, and, as I am skeptical of the weight figure of Murad's blade, I will call this even for now. =Guard's Weapons=

Longsword (Henry)
The term "longsword" refers to a longer sword than the arming sword, while having the same basic shape of the arming sword, but having a length of up to about one and a half meters, designed more for thrusting, but still capable of cutting. The sword was used from the mid 1300s to the mid 1500s. The weapon was also known as a "hand and a half", as it can be used one or two handed. The Longsword fell out of favor in military service starting around the 1520s, with the introduction of the Swiss Sabre.

Kilij (Murad)
The kilij is a Turkish sword based on older Central Asian weapons used since. The kilij first appeared sometime in the late Middle Ages, and was definitely in use by the time of the late 1400s. The weapon has a slightly curved blade made of high carbon steel, with a reinforced point that is significantly wider than the rest of the blade with a false edge. This gave the kilij formidable cutting ability. The kilij often had a hook-shaped pommel. The kilij was used not only by the Turks, but also in parts of Eastern Europe that had contact with the Ottoman Empire.

119's Edge
The weapon are similar in length, however, I give a slight edge to the kilij, as it is capable of delivering lethal slashes- it cut a pig carcass clean in half in an episode of Deadliest Warrior, and is also capable of thrusting, with its reinforced point.

Bill/Billhook (Henry)
Derived originally from the agricultural billhook, the bill consisted of a hooked chopping blade with several pointed projections mounted on a staff. The end of the cutting blade curves forward to form a hook, which is the bill's distinguishing characteristic. In addition, the blade almost universally had one pronounced spike straight off the top like a spear head, and also a hook or spike mounted on the 'reverse' side of the blade. There were many types of bill. English bills tended to be relatively short, with broad chopping heads, while Italian bills (ronche) often had very long thrusting points. The English distinguished between several varieties of bill, including the black, brown and forest bills, but the differences between them are currently not fully understood.

Ottoman Halberd (Murad)
The halberd is a type of polearm combining an axe head, spear point, and spike or hook for unhorsing cavalry. The weapon was effective as it allowed a foot soldier to combat cavalry by using the spear head to prevent cavalry from closing in, the hook for pulling knights off horseback, and the axe head for delivering a killing blow capable of piercing armor. The weapon was, like the pike commonly used by forces of peasant conscripts or rebels, as it was cheap, yet efficient to use. The Ottoman version of the halberd was identical in use to the European version of the weapon, with only cosmetic differences.

119's Edge
Murad's Halberd, for its greater versatility.

Shield Pistol (Henry)
During the time of Henry VIII, the British royal guard were armed with matchlock shield pistols. The weapons consisted of a short-barreled matchlock firearm in the center of a buckler. The shield pistol was presumably used in combination with a sword as an off-hand weapon, with the shield used to parry incoming blows and the pistol used at practically point blank range, as pistols were often used at the time.

Wheellock Pistol (Murad)
The wheellock mechanism is a mechanism of firearm operation in use in the late 1500s and early 1600s. The wheellock worked using a spring-loaded wheel, which was wound up and, upon pulling the trigger, the spring released, spinning the wheel, while at the same time a spring loaded arm with a small piece of iron pyrite, called the dog, struck the spinning wheel, creating a spark, which ignited the gunpowder in the pan, and subsequently the main charge in a manner similar to a modern cigarette lighter. The wheellock mechanism's main advantage over the matchlock was that was self-igniting, not requiring a slow-burning match, and was smaller, allowing for greater concealability. The wheellock was used mainly in pistols, as it was more expensive than the matchlock, and had to be wound up before it could be fired, slowing the reloading process. The wheellock was later replaced by snaphance and flintlock firearms in the 1600s.

119's Edge
While the wheellock's more conventional design might make it easier to aim, pistols of the period were used at practically point blank range. The wheellock has a more advanced ignition system, however, the shield pistol is more versatile, being able to block incoming sword attacks as well as being used as a pistol.

Matchlock Musket (Both)
The matchlock musket, also known as an arquebus, is an early firearm, and the first to have a mechanism recognizable as a trigger. The weapon was fired using a mechanism that held a slow burning cord, the "match" in place until the trigger was pulled, at which point the mechanism would move the match downward, into the firing pan, igniting the powder in the pan as well as the main charge. Some variants, known as snap matchlocks used a small spring to force the match down into the pan. The matchlock musket improved on the earlier Hand Cannon, as the mechanism held the match in place, meaning it was less likely that a soldier would drop the match, for instance. However, it had many of the same drawbacks as the hand cannon. Specifically, the matchlock was a smoothbore weapon, meaning it was innaccurate at ranges of over 50-100 meters, and only truly effective when used in formation, and could only fire one shot before a length reloading process. Prior to the invention of the bayonet, musketeers had no melee weapons except for the butt on their gun or possibly as sword or dagger, which would be little use against a charging cavalryman, for instance. For that reason, matchlock muskets were used in dense "pike and shot" formations, with pikemen protecting the musketeers, preventing cavalry from closing in. When these formations, along with volley fire techniques in which multiple soldiers took turns firing and reloading, so that there was always a row of men firing, were utilized, however, matchlock firearms proved to be devastating against cavalry. The matchlock musket saw use throughout Europe, as well as in the Middle East, India, and eventually East Asia, where matchlocks, known to the Japanese as tanegashima, after the island where they were introduced by the Portuguese and quickly became popular with samurai warlords such as Oda Nobunaga, who appreciated their ease of use, allowing even peasant- foot soldiers to use them with minimal training, yet cause devastating damage to cavalry when used in formation. Matchlocks were used through the 1500s and into the 1600s, being slowly replaced by wheellock and flintlock designs, though not being completely replaced in the 1720s. =X-Factors=

Explanations
While Henry commanded troops during a war with the French, he did not have as much combat experience as Murad, who personally lead his troops into battle on multiple occasions during a war with the Safavids. Both men were highly trained, as it was customary for royalty of the period to regularly practice with military arts such as swordsmanship. I give Henry a higher rate for armor as images of Henry's plate armor seemed to provide more per all-around protection than contemporary Ottoman suits of armor. Murad, however, was legendary for his physical strength, being able to wield a massive sword and mace. He was known to able to win wrestling matches against four opponents at once. However, for all his strength, Murad's mental health was rather poor. He was known to be a raging alcoholic (in spite of prohibiting consumption of alcohol in his empire), and to be extremely violent, and would attack on impulse. For instance, he would attack people in the streets of Constantinople with his mace or sword if he saw them breaking laws or even if they simply angered him. There are even claims that on occasion, late in the night, he ran out of the palace partly naked, armed with his sword, and killed anyone in his path.
