User blog comment:Thundrtri/Hawkeye (Comics.) VS Deadshot/@comment-4098900-20120916055517

You could say Deadshot will have a serious advantage using guns. He doesn't have to get a new round every shot he makes unlike Hawkeye. Of course with Hawkeye's accuracy one shot will be the kill, plus explosive arrows. But then add Deadshot's accuracy and see what you got. Eh, Deadshot'll only need one shot to kill Hawkeye (maybe two to be sure unless it's a head shot but he can easily get two perfect shots) as will Hawkeye with Deadshot. Deadshot's armor will be virtually useless. For two reasons. #1: For most bullets, the damage dealt isn't from the penetration of the body, it's of the impact from the bullet. Most of the time the vests people use are designed to take the impact. Larger bullets like 7.62s do damage from penetrating the body. Prison guards where kevlar designed to take penetrating wounds. If Deadshot's wearing armor designed to take impact damage, Hawkeye's arrows will go right through it. Now, do make note that this is all assuming that his armor is made from real materials, and that it is not designed to take penetrating rounds. Really though, it's useless because of Hawkeye's arrows. He has vibranium arrows, which will cut through anything. Explosive Arrows...pretty self-explanitory. Acid arrows will melt right through the armor. And fire arrows will set himon fire. So there you go on that. Overall I'm gonna go with Hawkeye on this one for reasons primarily involving training, and weapons. Deadshot is just a ridiculously skilled marksman and a guy who happens to be highly skilled in assassination tactics. Hawkeye is a S.H.I.E.L.D agent. A agency that deals with super-human threats. Now I realize that S.H.I.E.L.D agents aren't exactly trained to deal with regular humans but it's still far superior to Deadshot. All Deadshot really has going for him in that categoruy is extreme marksmanship, and the fact that he is really calm when under fire. Hawkeye has got some seriously better training and equal marksmanship skills to match, which basically makes Deadshot's marksmanship skills not such a big deal anymore. And it's not like he panics when he's under fire either. He's almost as experienced.....And not to far behind in intelligence and as a matter afact, more agile then Deadshot. I think you may have overrated Deadshot in the category of motivation. Deadshot just does what he's hired to do and doesn't care if he dies....Plain and simple. Hawkeye is truly devoted to what he does. Deadshot more of a 80. Hawkeye keep him with that X-factor. Anyways, back to why Hawkeye'll beat Deadshot. So now we go to weapons. Deadshot has some qrist guns and a grenade...Great. You shoulda probably given Deadshot his TAR21 or M4A! as well....But whatever, not like it would've made much difference in this fight. Hawkeye can get off arrow after arrow really quickly. Probably only takes him about 3 seconds to reload. Not that Deadshot can take advantage of this, anybody skilled with a gun can easily get off like 6 well placed shots in that amount of time. Won't be enough to stop Hawkeye though. Hawkeye can just hit the ground near him with an explosive arrow and get the kill. A vibranium arrows will go right throug his armor and kill him. If Deadshot steps in water Hawkeye can just shoot the water with one of his electric arrows. The grenade won't make much difference unless they go room to room. If they do Deadshot will have a huge advantage considering the bow size. Now I realize that in a real life senerio, a bow&arrow no matter what arrows you're using, and how accurate and quickly you can reload, would be pretty impractical in a gunfight. But this is the world of comic books. Put Hawkeye in the real world and he'd be at quite a disadvantage in a shootout. Not that he couldn't take out most people in real world. So as I was saying, this is the world of comic books; where with his types of arrows and skills you can be really effective. This is a pretty good fight I gotta say.
