So...

Short Range: Sword of Mars wins. Meteoric Iron isn't actually special, save for propaganda purposes. It is, at best, the same as normal iron. At worst, it's brittle and weak due to high concentrations of Antimony and other impurities. I'm going to assume the former here, simply for fairness, which gives Attila the edge due to range and killing surface. The tomahawk can be thrown, yes, but that's just depriving you of a weapon if it misses. Plus, this match includes horseback combat, and the sword's got killing surface (most) of the length of a weapon. This makes it a much easier-to-use weapon for this scenario, giving it a further edge.

Mid Range: Buffalo Lance wins. A lasso is hard to use at the best of times, much less when your target is not only highly mobile but also trying to kill you. The buffalo lance is much, much easier to kill with, especially on horseback. Getting a kill with a lasso is depended entirely on the angle you and your foe are riding at when he gets pulled, while the lance's kill is your standard stabbing.

Long Range: Hunnic Composite Bow wins. First off, those ranges are bullshit. Self-bows tend to have ranges of 150-200 yards, not feet, and Composite bows have ranges of 200-300 meters, though historical accounts show that some archers were capable of firing with consistent accuracy at up to 575 meters. Composite bows have much greater power than self-bows, much greater range, and thus get the edge.

Special: Gunstock Warclub wins. It's nearly quadruple the weight of the axe, yes, but there's that spike. What the spike will do is concentrate all nine pounds of that weapon and the force it brings on a very small contact point. This will rip through armor and rend flesh. The axe is useful, but the warclub brings a lot more force to the table.

Overall: All in all, I think Attila should take this one. He's got a far superior long-range weapon, he has better armor, and is overall better equipped for the match. While his lasso is questionable at best, his other advantages outweigh that quite strongly.
