Melee- From what I have seen, the hunting knife seems to have a bigger blade, so edge. Edge- John Marston

Revolvers- The LeMat may be heavier, but it has nine shots and a second shotgun shell firing barrel underneath the normal one. Edge- John Marston

Rifles- The Winchester has more bullets, and is likely faster. Edge- John Marston

Special 1- The revolving rifle has more range and ammo. Edge- Ned Kelly

Special 2- The lasso has low lethality, while the Spencer is a rifle and thus has higher lethality and range. Edge- Ned Kelly

Overall- I have to say Ned Kelly. Despite John having most of the edges, Ned has surprisingly effective armor and so does his gang. His armor blocked guns similar to Marstons at almost literally point blank range. The only reason Ned was brought down was due to three men with revolvers taking him on alone plus lucky shots to Ned's legs, while none of the bullets pierced his armor. All of Ned gang have bullet proff armor and helmets, all capable of withstanding rifle, shotgun, and revolver shots at even less then ten paces away. Plus, they have more firearms then Marstons team. Ned himself was also a surprisingly capable brawler, shown during the Shoemaker Shop brawl where he fought well enough that one of the three police men trying to arrest him tried to beat him by "black-balling"  Ned (it's squeezing ones testicles). And even then it took the assitance of a shoemaker to bring Ned down. Plus Ned had some notable guys in his gang, such as one called Byrne was said to have the best helmet.

Overall- Ned Kelly
