Let's see shall we

Close Range

Both of these swords are roughly the same length and roughly serve roughly the same purpose; that is as a slashing/cutting weapon. The Katana is sharper but it not very effective against western metal armour and while the Bulgarian rebels didn't wear a whole lot of armour it's still enough to negate the sharpness advantage and tie them up.

Edge: Even

Mid Range (Melee)

While both are the same length, the Scythe's larger and wider blade gives it a more powerful slashing capability than the thin narrow blade of the Naginata.

Edge: Bulgarian Rebel

Mid Range (Ranged)

Obviously the edge goes to the Blunderbuss. The Flintlock mechanism is a direct improvement on the Matchlock to make it more reliable.

Edge: Bulgarian Rebels

Long Range

As previously mentioned a Flintlock weapons will always beat a Matchlock version of the same design. Even without the reliability advantage the Musket is considerably lighter and has a shoulder stock to improve accuracy.

Edge: Bulgarian Rebels
