User blog comment:BattleGames1/Deadliest Warrior Battle 4 - Mamelukes vs Winged Hussars/@comment-5232784-20130108000559

1. Short range:

The Mamluke sword is longer (better range), lighter (could be used more quickly than the Winged Hussar's sabre), but the Hussar blade is more reliable and can deliver a heavier blow. This makes for a tough decision, as both weapons are useful, however the armor of the Hussar will be hard for the Mamluke sword to pierce, while the Hussar blade will be used on a foe most likely less armored than the Hussars: I therefore Give this edge to the Hussars.

Edge: The Winged Hussars

2. Mid range:

The Mamluke lance not only had a bigger blade head, it looks as if it could be thrown, as opposed to the jousting lance of the Winged Hussar. You could use the Mamluke weapon more than once. Given these strengths, the Mamlukes win easily over the Hussars

Edge: Mamlukes

3. Long range

No contest here. the Recurve bow of the mamlukes has a faster reload time than the crossbow, and although it is not as strong as the Crossbow, it is still strong enough to pierce armor. Sure, it has no bayonet, but that does not hinder this great weapon very much

Edge: Mamluke

Winner: MAMLUKES

The Mamlukes mid and long range weapons win out here. Even though their close range weapon loses out to the Hussar's blade, like the bow and Mameluke lance it has a longer range as well. Three long range advantages doeth mean victory for the Mamelukes. It is even more likely that the Mamelukes will win if they are riding on Camel (though they rode both horse and Camel, if they ride Camels here, the Hussar's horses, not familiar with the animals nor trained to not spook when encountering Camels, will turn and panic like crazy. The Battle would be all but won right there)

MAMLUKES WIN
